~*angie's lil reverie*~

I'm so Ah Q

I went back to work today. Gladys is really nice as she actually told me that if I'm tired, I could take morning off. Maybe I'm crazy or what, I told her it's okay and I went to work today! Thinking that there are only 3.5 working days this week, I guess there is no harm going to work.

But, never did I expect that it's a big mistake to go to work today.

I knocked my head against the cupboard and it was damn painful. It was so painful that I was trying so hard to stop my tears from flowing out. Even now, I could feel the lump on my head. I'm just a dumbo. And a lot of things happened at branch too. Sigh.

Hope that tomorrow will be a better day!

------

I've made one of my friend very upset and I'm afraid I may even lose this friend. I really apologize though I know that no matter what I say or do now, it doesn't change anything.

I'm sorry.

Wonderful Bangkok Trip

I just came back from Bangkok! It was a fun and enjoyable trip with endless fun and laughter. I really enjoyed myself a lot! It was simply so great to hang out with great friends like them. I truly enjoyed every moment of the whole trip. It was tiring though as we slept for 2-3 hrs every night. Maybe we were too nua or what, we had million of places to go, but in the end, we only went to a few places due to time constraints.

The weather at Bangkok is bright and sunny though it's kinda cold at night. Thanks to Weipeng's wrong info, I brought pants instead of my happy skirts or shorts to Bangkok. Argh.

You must be thinking that most of the time, the guys would be the ones waiting for the girls. But, in this case, it is the other way round. Every morning, Yuxiu and I would wake up early and wait for them to get ready in their room. The guys take million of years to get ready! And whenever we go shopping, it's always the girls waiting for the guys. What the hell... The world has changed.

Our hotel - Bangkok Palace Hotel which is quite good actually. The bed was comfortable and the room was quite okay too. And most importantly, we could sleep soundly in the room. =p

Specdy Weipeng and Me. I don't usually wear specs when travelling, but my eyes were in such great pain that I got no choice but to wear specs. By the way, I think I ought to see a doctor for my eyes, if not I think I may really go blind in near future.

Girls posing outside the room

The guys - Zhanhong, Weipeng, Kit and ZQ

Yuxiu and me - at Baiyoke Sky Hotel

Me and Joey

LAY - Limin, Angeline and Yuxiu.

Baiyoke Sky Hotel is the tallest hotel in Bangkok and from this Baiyoke rooftop, you can overlook the whole view of Bangkok. It looks damn nice at night with all the lightings especially when it was Christmas season. This is quite a nice place to chill out at night though the drinks are kinda expensive.

Happy us, trying to force open our eyes early in the morning

A&W - the place which we took quite some time to find it. I guess A&W is not very popular in Bangkok as we tried to ask many locals where is the A&W and all of them gave us different directions and answers. FAINT.

Yeah! My favourite A&W's Root Beer Float. I finally get to drink this after so many years!!

WOw! The curly fries!

But the burger is kinda disappointing I would say...

Historic photo of us (and some miscellaneous people) just outside A&W

Us with ZQ

Group photo (without ZQ though)

Mummy in Bangkok? Nah... It's my feet!

Anyway, it's damn cheap to go for massage in Bangkok! I went for Thai massage and foot massage and it was damn shiok!

Lucky me - This is the first time in my life in which I actually got 3 sevens! I'm so lucky!

Our good friend. Anyway, I would like to swear to all my friends that I really didn't try to cheat!!! Trust me!

Home sweet Home

All in all, it was a wonderful trip! Let's go somewhere else next year! Yeah!

Bon Voyage

To Yukai,

You would only be leaving on the 26th, but since I won't be around to send you off. I may as well say my goodbye here before I go Bangkok.

Sorry for not being able to send you off. Or maybe let's just say I don't think I have the courage to send you off at the airport. For the past 6 years plus, you have always been by my side and other than when you went for your switzerland trip, we were never apart for so long, so far.

Don't worry. I would take good care of myself when you're not by my side. You must take care of yourself too.

Bon Voyage.

I will miss you.

-------

To all my other friends, I would be leaving for BKK in a few hours and will only be back on Tuesday. Take care and let me wish you guys an early Merry Christmas!

On leave (again)

Yeah I'm on leave! It just feels good to be on leave... After working so hard for the past few days, it feels great to be on leave. But, you won't believe it... Though I don't have to work today, I slept at 10+ last night. Even my friends were commenting that my sleeping time is getting earlier and earlier. Perhaps when it comes to 2007, I may be sleeping at 9pm. Haha. But, the thing is, I really feel very sleepy. In fact, I was already falling asleep on my sofa at 8+ after my dinner. =p And I woke up at 630 this morning, thinking that I got to work today. It's only after opening my eyes for 5 minutes then I realize I'm actually on leave. Haha. I'm such a workaholic.

I would be flying off to BKK tomorrow afternoon. I'm excited over the trip, but at the same time, I feel kinda sad as well. Yukai would be leaving for US on the 26th when I'm not back in Singapore yet. It's kinda ironic that instead of my sending him off at the airport, he would be sending me off at the airport tomorrow. Oh well...

Anyway, my eyes are in great pain again!!! My eyes are already quite small, but now I hardly can see my eyes with my specs on. I'm not exaggerating, but I really can't open my eyes. = ( I shall stop wearing my bi-weekly contact lens until my eyes feel better. As for now, I guess I can only wear my daily contact lens when I feel vain (which is like everyday??!!). Haha.

Christmas Party

Look at this...

Isn't this a very beautiful Christmas tree?

This christmas tree was decorated by Alan! And those presents under the tree were wrapped by my sister! I simply love this christmas tree! It's always my dream to have a christmas tree, and this is like dream come true! The christmas tree is really very beautiful!

When I reached their place after work, Mr and Mrs Teo were preparing dinner for our christmas party.

Me and Mrs Teo @ work...

On the other hand, Yukai and I were busy taking photos.

Or rather, I was busy taking photos. I was so excited that I just couldn't stop taking photos of everything... =p

The FANTASTIC Swedish meatballs. It really tasted damn good that I think I ate 10 over meatballs. Yummy. Even the thought of these meatballs is making me hungry now!

After a few hours of hard work, here is our BIG FEAST. Trust me, I ate until I was really full. So full that my stomach feels weird. Must be too bloated I guess.

Mr and Mrs Teo posing with their very own christmas tree

The Hazelnut Log cake from. Er... I think it's quite obvious from the picture, right?

It was a small christmas party but I truly enjoyed myself. Thanks for the wonderful dinner, Mr and Mrs Teo. =p

And last of all, Merry Christmas to all!

Happy Birthday to Shixing

When I was reaching my house, it finally stopped raining. But, it started raining the very next moment again. But, it doesn't really matter since I'm safely back home and it would be a nice weather for me to sleep.

Anyway, today is a special day... That's because...

IT'S SHIXING's BIRTHDAY!

Happy Birthday to Shixing! May you find your dream girl soon! =p

What a Sunday...

Today is a gloomy Sunday. It has been raining for one whole day. I didn't even want to wake up this morning until Shixing and David gave me a lot of missed calls. In fact they were waiting for me at my house downstairs when I just woke up to bathe. I'm simply a sleepyhead. Haha. (For your information, my hp is in silent mode when I'm sleeping so if you're looking for me urgently, you got to call my house number. If not, I doubt will be able to hear the vibrations when sleeping.) As Shixing had just bought a pair of REALLY EXPENSIVE blades, he was very excited to try them out and he told me that HE MUST BLADE today. So, we decided to go ECP despite such bad weather. We met MJ and friends and MacDonalds too.

Basically, it was quite a bad choice to come ecp to blade as it started to rain heavily after blading for 10 minutes. We had no choice but to hide under the shelter. Then, David suggested to go to some carpark as Bedok to blade instead. Given that we had made so many wrong decisions today, I guess that was the 2nd good decision we had made for that day (the first good decision made was to eat at McCafe. The Triple Decker sandwiches are damn nice!). David taught me parallel turn and after trying so many times, I finally mastered it! I was so happy. It really felt great to learn a skill or so. I''m going to learn more skills from him. haha. Applying all my theories, Shixing managed to master that skill too with his new blades. haha.

After 2hrs of intensive training, we went to Bedok Camp for Cheng Teng. The Cheng Teng is very famous as there are a total of 11 ingredients in it. You guys should go there to try it someday, but I must warn you that the queue is super long on normal days. And if you go too late, you may only be able to eat the Cheng Teng with less 5 ingredients. haha.

This Sunday would really be perfect if it doesnt rain at all... I won't mind if it rains later when I'm going to bed though...

Me and my instructor, David

Gathering

We had a jc class gathering on Friday. However, as all the girls were kinda busy with work, I'm the only girl who attended the gathering. But, I only met KC, Mervin and Yukai for dinner as I got to rush home to accompany my granny who's alone at home. We ate at Sizzler which was quite nice as there was free flow of salad and soup. I would say it would be quite worth it for those salad lovers. Though the attendance of this gathering was not too good, I was glad to meet up with KC and Mervin. After so many years, KC is still very entertaining. For the whole dinner, he was entertaining me with his stories. Haha. Hope that we would be able to find another time when more people can make it and we could go Setters' Cafe. =p

------

Thanks to Ally who had organized an university gathering 2 months ago, we finally met up on Saturday. As Shixing's birthday falls on this coming Tuesday, we bought a cake for him as well. There are Ally, Celene, Shixing, me, Baolun and Suria. I realize I simply love KTV. Though I may not sing that well, I just love to sing. And I like to hear people singing nice songs too. Haha. I won't mind if I have the time (or money) to go KTV once a week.

After KTV, we went fish and co for dinner and Derrick came to join us as well.

The happy Birthday boy, Shixing

The three of us - Me, Celene and Shixing

Posing with the guy who thinks that I'm not lady-like. But, look at the way I'm sitting, maybe he's right. I'm just not that lady-like.

Shixing, Ally and Suria

Me and my dear friend, Celene!

Group Photo! I wanted to take a better shot, but all of them were very unwilling to re-take, so I got no choice but to make do with this group photo which is quite far.

We wanted to go Ice Cold Beer for some chicken wings, but it was too crowded. In the end, SOMEBODY suggested balcony where Derrick could conveniently meet up with his gf. WTH. Though Balcony is quite a nice place to chill out, but it's quite humid and the music is basically blasting in our ears. And it's so expensive to spend $6+ on lime juice or even orange juice. All of us were complaining non-stop. But, Celene, Shixing and I stayed there for quite some time before we went to ButterFactory.

Celene managed to get us in as guests, thus we went in for free. ButterFactory is quite a cool place to dance! It's quite happening. All of Celene's friends are dancers and they are simply so happening! But the drinks are just so expensive. I'm very proud of myself that I didn't drink at all for the whole night! =p But, I did enjoy myself. We basically danced all the way till 3+. It was very tiring. Anyway, you won't believe it. One of Jasmins's friend was actually my jc friend whom I had not met since I graduated from JC. It's such a small world...

Does anybody know what does CENTRAL BANK mean?

Apparently, to somebody, CENTRAL BANK = MAS.

Huh? Is it?

A Simple Story about Love

I read this from an email. It's just so touching...

My husband is an Engineer by profession, I love him for his steady nature, and I love the warm feeling when I lean against his broad shoulders.

Three years of courtship and now, two years into marriage, I would have to admit that I am getting tired of it. The reason of me loving him before has now transformed into the cause of all my restlessness.

I am a sentimental woman and extremely sensitive when it comes to a relationship and my feelings, I yearn for the romantic moments, like a little girl yearning for candy. My husband, is my complete opposite, his lack of sensitivity, and the inability of bringing romantic moments into our marriage has disheartened me about love. One day, I finally decided to tell him my decision, that I wanted a divorce.

"Why?" he asked, shocked. "I am tired; there are no reasons for everything in the world!" I answered. He kept silent the whole night, seems to be in deep thought with a lighted cigarette at all times. My feeling of disappointment only increased, here was a man who can't even express his predicament, what else can I hope from him?

And finally he asked me:" What can I do to change your mind?" Somebody said it right, it's hard to change a person's personality, and I guess, I have started losing faith in him.

Looking deep into his eyes I slowly answered: "Here is the question, if you can answer and convince my heart, I will change my mind, Let's say, I want a flower located on the face of a mountain cliff, and we both are sure that picking the flower will cause your death, will you do it for me?"

He said:" I will give you your answer tomorrow...." My hopes just sank by listening to his response.

I woke up the next morning to find him gone, and saw a piece of paper with his scratchy handwriting, underneath a milk glass, on the dining table near the front door, that goes....

My dear,
"I would not pick that flower for you, but please allow me to explain the reasons further..."

This first line was already breaking my heart. I continued reading.

"When you use the computer you always mess up the Software programs, and you cry in front of the screen, I have to save my fingers so that I can help to restore the programs.
You always leave the house keys behind, thus I have to save my legs to rush home to open the door for you. You love traveling but always lose your way in a new city; I have to save my eyes to show you the way. You always have the cramps whenever your "good friend" approaches every month; I have to save my palms so that I can calm the cramps in your tummy. You like to stay indoors, and I worry that you will be infected by infantile autism. I have to save my mouth to tell you jokes and stories to cure your boredom. You always stare at the computer, and that will do nothing good for your eyes, I have to save my eyes so that when we grow old, I can help to clip your nails, and help to remove those annoying white hairs. So I can also hold your hand while strolling down the beach, as you enjoy the sunshine and the beautiful sand... and tell you the color of flowers, just like the color of the glow on your young face...

Thus, my dear, unless I am sure that there is someone who loves you more than I do... I could not pick that flower yet, and die... "

My tears fell on the letter, and blurred the ink of his handwriting... and as I continue on reading... "Now, that you have finished reading my answer, if you are satisfied, please open the front door for I am standing outside bringing your favorite bread and fresh milk...I rush to pull open the door, and saw his anxious face, clutching tightly with his hands, the milk bottle and loaf of bread....

Now I am very sure that no one will ever love me as much as he does, and I have decided to leave the flower alone...That's life, and love. When one is surrounded by love, the feeling of excitement fades away, and one tends to ignore the true love that lies in between the peace and dullness.

Love shows up in all forms, even very small and cheeky forms, it has never been a model; it could be the dullest and boring form. Flowers, and romantic moments are only used and appear on the surface of the relationship.

Under all this, the pillar of true love stands... and that's our life... Love, not words win arguments..

Chinese Astrology - PIG

Contrary to its rather negative reputation in the West, the Pig of Chinese Astrology may be the most generous and honorable Sign of the Zodiac. Pigs are nice to a fault and possess impeccable manners and taste. They have so much of the perfectionist in them that others may be inclined to perceive them as snobs, but this is a misconception. Pigs are simply possessed of a truly luxurious nature, one that delights in finery and riches (in surroundings, food, lovemaking and otherwise). This Sign believes in the best qualities of mankind and certainly doesn't consider itself to be superior. Pigs also care a great deal about friends and family and work hard to keep everyone in their life happy. Helping others is a true pleasure for the Pig, who feels best when everyone else is smiling.

A Pig with no one around to appreciate its giving nature is a sad sight. Pigs are so magnanimous they can appear almost saintly; this can lead some less-than-well-intentioned souls to stomp all over this Sign, and the bad news is, the Pig will take the blows! Pigs make great companions in part because of their refusal to see the more negative or base qualities in a partner, but that rose-colored view can lead to this Sign's allowing itself to be taken advantage of. Contrary to their seemingly benign dispositions, however, Pigs can be quite venomous in response to being crossed by a lover, friend or business partner.

Pigs are highly intelligent creatures, forever studying, playing and probing in their quest for greater knowledge. They can be misinterpreted as being lazy, however, due to their love of reveling in the good stuff; this Sign could happily spend hours on end making love, napping, taking a long bubble bath or dallying over an incredible spread of rich foods. Pigs tend to make wonderful life partners due to their hearts of gold and their love of family. Even so, Pigs can be rather exclusive, choosing to spend time with those who will appreciate them most and ignore the rest of the populace. Pigs would do well to realize that there's more to life than being needed. When they open up their world to a diverse group of people, they will truly bloom.

Rain, please go away...

It's raining so heavily right now. Normally when it rains so heavily at work, I would be hoping that I'm at home sleeping. I have a chance to sleep right now, but I guess I would rather spend my precious time doing something more constructive rather than sleeping.

I went to meet my president, Teck Leng for lunch at Raffles Place today. It was great meeting up with him as I have not really talked to him every since we graduated. The last time we met was at Suntec in which he and his gf was rushing for some movie. We had a quick lunch at Golden Shoe Carpark then we went to Killney for some drinks. As his lunch hour is only 1hr, I basically TAH-ed my teh peng rather than drinking it. haha. I drank so fast that I felt like puking after drinking it. Haha.

After that, I went to Somerset for eyebrow threading. Basically, I decided today shall be a relaxing day for me and I should just enjoy myself. I even wanted to go for medicure and pedicure, but I decided that since there's no wedding dinner or mega event this weekend, I shall not waste such money. Nobody will appreciate my beautiful nails and toe nails other than myself anyway. And most importantly, given that I'm so lady-like, my nails would probably chip in a day or so. So, it's kinda pointless for me to do pedicure and medicure. But then again, I even thought to myself that how great it would be if only I could go for a full body massage. Unfortunately, I'm don't have such good life to enjoy the tai-tai lifestyle of going for such spa session yet.

It seems like my leave is kinda short as I still have a lot of things undone. And I got to go back to work tomorrow. If only I could extend my leave... If only...

------

A recent study at the University of Texas shows that negativity and pessimism lead to faster ageing as opposed to an optimistic outlook.
So the morale of the story is, we must always be positive and no matter how bad our day has been, we must always maintain a positive outlook.

If you cannot be Miss Beautiful, you can always be Miss Personality.
I shall be Miss Personality from now on. =p

Relaxing Sunday

Today is such a relaxing Sunday for me. Early in the morning, I went to ecp with Shixing, David to meet up with Celene and her buddy. The weather was good and we had a great time rollerblading. We actually bladed for 3 hours! This is totally madness as I usually blade for 2 hours or so. We even thought of signing up for some rollerblading lessons. Haha.

After a short downpour, Shixing recommended all of us to go to some steamboat place at Roxy Square for a great lunch. Luckily, lunch was good, if not all of us would want to slap Shixing for making us going there all the way just to eat that steamboat. haha.

Me and my dear friend, Celene

I'm surrounded by the REDs! Did I mention that RED is my favourite colour? Hehe.

On leave

I woke up this morning, feeling weird. It's weird that it's Saturday, yet I don't have to go to work.

It's such a waste that I didn't go clubbing last night. But, I wasn't feeling too well and I'm too off-form to go clubbing. I can't imagine myself wearing specs while holding on to a piece of tissue with me all the time while clubbing. This is simply too off. haha.

Whatever it is, I'm finally on leave! My last break was like in July when I went to Korea for 8 days. Bascially, December is simply a very happy month for me as I would also be going on leave at month end during the Christmas period when I would be going Bangkok with my secondary school friends. Yeah!

Unfortunately, early in the morning on my first day of leave, I'm not feeling too well.

I wonder if I'm too tired or what. I seem to be sick most of the time. Despite me wearing specs to work, why is it that my eyes still hurt at night? And why am I always having flu? I'm really weak.

Anyway, when my sister went to work this morning, I was alone at home. I felt a bit weird to be alone at home. Back in sengkang, there's always somebody at home. Then I realize I probably won't enjoy being a housewife as I can't stand being alone at home for one whole day. It's simply too boring. I guess I would rather go out to work. That sounds like a better alternative.

Good day to all of you!

Yeah!

After waiting for so long, I'm finally going to go on leave! Though it's a short leave, I guess it would be a great break for me.

I'm not going anywhere, but I guess I would treasure this short break to meet up with friends and to settle some of my personal matters. I could go swimming, jogging, shopping or even just reading at home. It's time for me to tidy up my study table and wardrobe as well. It seems like there are a lot of things for me to do... Hm... Just hope that there is enough time for everything. =p

But, I have one problem. I'm going on leave, yet I seem to be falling sick. Why is it that I always fall sick whenever I'm on leave?

My life is a drama...

Incident 1:
I was happily walking to my branch early in the morning while listening to radio. And the next moment, I actually missed a step and fell down. Though my ankle kinda hurts, I ignored the pain and continue walking, trying to pretend nothing has happened.

Incident 2:
I went to lunch with my wallet this time. But, there's no money in it. In the end, I got to walk back to my branch to withdraw money from the atm machine and there's a queue. When it's finally my turn, my colleagues asked me to go back to backroom to settle some stuff. In the end, I went for lunch much later.

Incident 3:
When I was about to eat my lunch, I realized I forgot to take utensils. #X$%#X$#@

Incident 4:
My heels kept on getting stuck in the hole of the drain. It's quite embarassing given that I had to take off my shoes and pluck off my heels in front of so many people.

I know that all these do happen to people, but I guess I'm probably the only person on earth who has been through all these in a day.

My life is a drama...

Highlights of my day

Highlight No. 1:
I forgot to bring wallet. Luckily, I left a dollar coin on my table on Friday, if not I won't even be able to buy curry puff for lunch today.

Highlight No. 2:
My hp battery was flat for the whole day.

Highljght No. 3:
My favourite brand of hotdogs went out of stock and my mum had to buy a different brand. And for those who know me real well, you will probably know that I only eat one particular brand of hotdogs. So, I was kinda disappointed when I saw the hotdogs especially when I was so hungry after work.

All in all, I would say Monday is relatively quite a good day for me.

Home is not a hotel

My dad once said this to me," Please don't treat this house to be your hotel."

When I was very committed to my eca back in JC, I would leave home at 6+ and would only be back home at 11pm. At that time, my dad was so fed up with me that he said that to me. Basically, I only went home to sleep, just like a normal hotel guest who would only go back hotel to sleep at the end of each day. I guess I'm not the only one who is like this. How many of us actually spend constructive time at home? Many of us simply take our home for granted.

I'm guilthy of not spending enough time at home with my family. I always tell myself I'm always out as I'm busy. But, come to think of it, I'm not that busy. I really regret not spending enough time with my family especially my granny. There are times when I'm alone at home for one whole day and I would keep complaining of boredom. On the other hand, my granny is always alone at home, yet she never complains. She only gets to talk to us early in the morning or when we come back at night. And if any of us never gets home, she would stay up just to ensure that all of us are back home. I guess she just wants to have a talk with us, be it just a greeting from us.

That's why I would always try to be home when I'm not going out with my friends. Even if I'm playing my computer games or watching TV, at least I'm home. Home is the only place where I can find comfort and love. There is no other place in this world better than home. No matter what, home is still the best. I truly agree with this statement.

Treat your house as your HOME, not a hotel.

Reflections...

2006 is coming to an end. I would say the year 2006 has been a very happening year for me. There are a lot of changes around me. A lot of changes in me. And a lot of changes around my friends and family.

Oh well, 2006 is my first full year as a typical working adult. I finally have a taste of what is it like to be a full-time working adult. You start to have monday blues on every sunday and you start to plan to go on holiday whenever you can take leave/off. And you tend to be able to memorize all the public holidays in a year. Gradually you start to forget that you used to hate exams as you start to exclaim to your university friends that how much you miss university days. You even say that you would rather study than to work (you sure?). The only good thing of being a working adult is probably that you are being paid every month. But, given that I'm receiving such a small pay check now, I don't have much motivation other than job satisfation. Haha.

In 2006, I had a career switch. I had changed from a sales job to back-room operational job. Many people ask me do I like my job now? All I can say is, I prefer it to sales job, but I would appreciate if my bank gives me a higher pay for holding so much more responsibilities. Haha. For now, I'm still in the learning phase. There are so much things to learn and I kinda look forward to learn new things everyday. Though I must admit that work is overwhelming at times, always feel very happy whenever I get to learn new things. But, I'm still glad that I've made this career switch as I'm simply not a good sales person.

On a happier mood, my sister had gotten married in the year 2006 and started a happy family with my brother-in-law. Ever since she had moved out, I realize how dependent I am on her and how much I love her. I will have endless of things to report to her whenever I finally get to meet up with her. And I love staying at her place... =p Being with her just brightens my day no matter how bad my day had been.

All in all, 2006 is a good year for me. When I was feeling really down and depressed, there were many people around me who gave me a lot of support or even extended a helping hand to me. For that, I really appreciate all of you (you guys should know who you are) who had helped me in a way or so.

Just hope that the year 2007 will be a better year for you and me!

Happy Birthday to Mummy & Limin

Today is my Mummy's Birthday! Being a happening Mummy, she is out with my daddy while I'm home to accompany my granny.

Just wana say Happy Birthday to my dearest mummy. I love you Mummy! May all your wishes come true!

------

It's Limin's birthday tomorrow and a group of us met up to celebrate her birthday. We were thinking of doing something else other than ktv, but in the end, we still ended up going ktv. But, we went to a new partyworld at International Building. At least, it's something different. haha.

Happy Birthday to you, Limin! Stay pretty always and all the best in your career!

Me and the pretty Birthday girl

Marathon

Many would agree with me that Standard Chartered Race is an annual major race in Singapore. Many people around me actually joined this race. But, sometimes, there are so many people who had joined this race to the extent that I started to question what is their main reason for joining this race? For pride? For Glory? Simply for Passion? Or just joining this race just because it seems to be the most "in" thing to do?

For the first time since this event was held in Singapore, I was not one of the marshals. I was among one of the supporters at the finishing line. The atmosphere was great and you could see the pride on the faces of every racers when they crossed the finishing line. I have full respect for them as I know that I could never finish 42km. Even if I were to run half the race and walk the remaining distance, I bet I would calling for ambulance when I reach 30km.

And I truly respect my friend, Jianhui. It was his 4th full marathon. Congratulations to him for finishing the race once again despite feeling sick for the past few days!

When you saw this photo, you must be wondering - Angie actually finished the full marathon?!

But then again, Look at my round face! It's a loophole to prove that this full marathon medal is not mine.

Posing with Jianhui who had truly deserved this medal.

Blue

Today is Saturday, yet I'm feeling so blue. I have no idea what's wrong with me, but I know that I'm not in good mood. Even the big feast of AMK crabs did not make me feel any better. I can't pinpoint what's causing me to feel that way, but I just feel different. Instead of feeling excited and energetic over the weekend, I feel so blue. What's exactly wrong with me? I wish I know the root of the problem as well.
