Glimpse Into My Pensieve

UPDATES: I have officially moved over to Multiply. Those looking for me here and wondering which planet I've disappeared to, pls email me for my address. Please note that I will only add you if I know you personally. Otherwise, you can still have access to all my general posts.

BIGGER UPDATES: I am married. It's been almost a month now and I didn't tell you before not because I didn't want to but because I'd forgotten my user id and password (yes, I have millions which are kept safely hidden away...even from me) in this blog. IT'S TRUE!!! I only managed to somehow remember it today after trying like 1,456,816,572,359 times.

EVEN BIGGER UPDATES: There aren't any. Coz we are not pregnant. Yet. =P

Ok I gotta haul my bag of lazy bones back to work now... Joy.

Ciao ya!

PS. I don't think I will be posting here since I prolly won't have the time but all entries in here will be left as they are for your viewing pleasure.

People! I know! I know! PLEEEEASE don't keel me....

I've not been updating for the longest time simply becuz...

I've found another blogsite and have been blogging from there cuz there's more privacy and more control and more stuff and...OK I ADMIT...I'M TRAITOROUS!

THERE I said it!


Happy now?



Really?




Ok, so am I.


Anyways ppl, I'm sorry I can't give out the add cuz that would defeat the whole "more privacy...I like" purpose. So I can't. Unless you beg me. Or gimme $9,579,823,476,152,365,198.00 or something...

BUT...

Take heart, I still linger here from time to time and you might just still be getting juicy updates and crazy stuff.

Do refrain from checking back too often cuz I said "MIGHT".

Woah! So much for upping traffic on my blog now!

Ok ppl, be good. Especially to me. =)

Luv yall anyways...

Yup!! Singapore beat Thailand last night 2-1 at the National Stadium (one last football match before they tear the stadium down to build a new one).

AND I WAS THERE TO WATCH IT. So were Dad, Mom, Bro#1 and my sweetheart.

It's been a rather long time since I've watched any football match at the stadium since the Malaysia Cup.

Being at the stadium reminded me of my childhood days when I used to follow Dad to watch football matches btwn Singapore and Malaysia back then.

All at once, the memories of the adrenaline rush that sets in -once the match kicks off with thousands of ppl roaring and clapping loudly, stomping their feet when the Kallang wave starts, blasting their horns 9 times before random ppl stand up and point rude gestures coupled with choice swear words of different languages at the referee who never wins, ppl throwing rolls of toilet paper and torn-up newspaper confetti- all came back to me in an instant.

And it was like yesterday when I was a lil' kid, roaring together with the crowd and all.

The feeling was euphoric. I got to scream with a bunch of rather entertaining Malay kids who were sitting below us. They kept up a constant string of amusing cheers amidst the fancy swearing. (I joined in the cheers only, well some.)

Ok, I know some of yall would wanna know what actually happened at the match. Here's a sum-up:

- Singapore scored the first goal during 1st half cuz Thailand's defenders were sleeping.
- Thailand scored the equalizer in the 2nd half cuz our defenders were sleeping.
- Actually no defenders were sleeping.
- A penalty kick was awarded to Singapore in the 2nd half cuz the Ref said so.
- Thailand displayed poor sportsmanship when they boycotted that penalty.
- In the end, Thailand wasted a good 15 mins before deciding they wanted to "Be A Man" and "Do Teh Right Thing" and finally showed up on the pitch again to face the penalty music.
- A short staring (and gesturing) match occurred btwn the Singapore fans and Thai fans which might or might not result in Singaporeans not going to Bangkok to watch the finals or even just for holiday shopping for the time being per se.
- Singapore could have played better. They were not aggressive enough, neither were they tight in their play.
- But since Singapore won, all has been forgiven (by the Singaporeans, that is) and we all live happily ever after.

I'd go to Bangkok to watch the finals.

But I don't wanna die.

WHAT?! NO?! IT DIDN'T?!

*crushed*

Anyways...

Gosh! November 10th was my last entry!

I. Am. So. Guilty. *scarlet face*

It's been a WHOLE TWO MONTHS plus since I last blogged! I think I'm losing it... No, not my mind, my will to blog! (and that's even worse, cuz it will eventually lead to me losing my mind.

No blogging --> No complaining --> No letting off steam --> Go nuts --> Go ballistic --> Go mental --> Lose mind.

SEE?!!!

Must. Blog. More.

Ok time for the rambles...

But firstly, I just wanna say that God is muchly muchly MUCHLY awesome! I am soooo much of the blessed! I'm happy and proud to announce that I have found the one human being who completes me. It's really miraculous how God paved the way for the both of us from the beginning and how things are going. I really thank God for blessing me with this special person - you know who you are, baby!

In Dec, I quit my job. Needed a REAL break cuz I was burnt out with work and all and I've not been able to take leave for proper rest, contrary to what most ppl would think when you're working for family. But came Dec, I finally reached that big decision after much thinking and prayer. And now as I look back, it's really God's timing cuz as the church Christmas Musical approached, I started to get busier in my commitments in the Chorale. Thus, I was able to focus all my energy on the gig.

The gig was a wonderful time of ministering to not just the audience, but also to us who were involved, both cast and crew. It was unlike anything I've ever experienced before in a Christmas project, not even in my previous church.

The effort and dedication by my fellow cast members really encouraged me. In all 3 nights of the musical, ppl from the cast came forth to share their testimonies of how God changed their lives in most miraculous circumstances. I believe the many ppl who came to watch the gig were touched in one way or another, just like I was.

Quite a no. of us were also faced with spiritual warfare - things that happened to cause obstruction and hinderances to our practices and performances, things from the evil one. But God prevailed, as usual. And we who are on His side will be victorious along with Him.

In the course of preparation, I also got to know a lot more ppl personally through all the mingling and fellowship that we had. There was always loads of fun to be had. In the end, we all enjoyed ourselves so much that when the production ended, we felt so sad! Like it was a real fun camp we've been having and finally when it ceases, everyone's reluctant to leave. Lots of us were suffering from Musical Withdrawal Syndrome...myself included. =)

But when I think about it, it's not really the end. It's actually the beginning. There will be more gigs to serve in, more ppl to know, more fun to have. But ultimately, what keeps the joy alive is the joy of knowing I serve the Almighty God who never fails me. Who is always there for me even when I see only one set of footprints in the sand. Because that's when He's carrying me. In His loving arms.

Serving in the worship ministry in my church has changed my life. More than I could have ever imagined. The joy, the fellowship with brothers and sisters-in-Christ, the blessings. Most of all, it helps me draw closer to my God, a God who loves me unconditionally, my Saviour, my Best Friend.

Love's actually a rather interesting thing isn't it? Just when you're not expecting to find it, it finds you.

Mind-boggler... Hmmm...

It didn't hurt it didn't hurt it didn't hurt it didn't hurt it didn't hurt it didn't hurt it didn't hurt it didn't hurt it didn't hurt it didn't hurt it didn't hurt it didn't hurt.

Much.

Yaaaaay!! The 3rd visit to my orthodontist went VERY NICELY, I'm happy to report.

At the clinic, he promised me it wouldn't hurt as much as it did the last time. Well, actually he wasn't the only one who assured me everything would be ok. There were other...higher forces too that did the magic.(Thank you! You know who you are!!)

And for the record, I SEE RESULTS!! My teeth are ACTUALLY STRAIGHTENING!!

VOICES IN MY HEAD: What did she 'xpect? Wasn't that the whole reason for going for a Teeth Repair job? *rolls eyes incredulouslly*

ME: Ah shuddup dude. At least I can SEE real results, especially after all that suffering...

VOICES IN MY HEAD: Yeah well, y'know we would actually be able to SEE them too if you'd let us outta your head from time to time...

ME: Hah! Nice try, but you know it's not gonna happen...

VOICES IN MY HEAD: *groan*

ME: *is satisfied*


Oh and for the record, I CAN EAT PASTA TOO!!! *does happy somersaults*

Skin feels much of the itchy!!!

Recently, there has been a major invasion of a certain type of biting insect in my house. The species of this particular insect cannot be ascertained becuz It Seems. To Be. Invisible. Most Of. All. The Time.

It is SOOOOO HARD to catch a glimpse of it! Let alone CATCH IT! Stupid thing disappears SO FAST the moment it punctures your skin that I could have sworn I'm dealing with Predator Miniature here!

No kiddin' ppl! Nasty invisible alien insects are hunting us down and making trophies out of our bites! We are being bitten alive here!

Lemme show you some visuals.

WARNING: Graphic imagery might cause viewer to experience imaginary itching sensation and probably even start to scratch subconciously.

On my right forearm:


And my left leg:


Not pretty. And itchy as hell too. I wish I could say that's all the bites I've got but then I'd be lying.

The infuriating thing is, we CAN'T SEEM TO GET RID OF 'EM! I've tried soaking spraying my entire room with insecticide.

Nada. Zero. No dice. You get the picture.


ME: *soaks sprays every inch of room with Itch-Kill*

PREDATOR MINIATURES: *poke heads out of hiding place to snigger smarmily*

ME: *outraged* I KEEEL YOU DEAD, you INVISIBLE EVILS OF ITCHVILLE!!

PREDATOR MINIATURE #468: Psst! Didja hear that? She sed she's gunna keel us deead.

PREDATOR MINIATURES: HAHAHAHAHAHA!

ME: *is still soaking spraying room with Itch-Kill, oblivious to evil mocking amongst the enemy*

PREDATOR MINIATURE #793: Hey guys, watch. She thinks that stuff's gonna kill us. The rate she's goin' at it, I reckon it'll prolly kill her first.

PREDATOR MINIATURES: HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Damn smarmy arrogant critters! Just they wait till I get hold of ONE of them. JUST the ONE critter. And THEN we'll be able to identify it and administer the kill effectively.

*prepares self as bait and waits...*

People, something weird is happening on this blog. Apparently, there is a Password Prompt that comes up everytime the page loads.

I DID NOT PUT IT THERE. SO DO NOT TYPE IN ANY PASSWORD. JUST CANCEL OR CLOSE THE BOX.

You might need to cancel it twice then it won't pop up anymore.

Sorry for the inconvenience. I dunno what the heck is happening at the moment. I'll either try to fix it or just hope the damn thing goes away.

*sigh*

ETA: I found out that the problem came from the stewpid tagboard so I have removed it, thus fixing the problem as well. Yay, me! =P

A wealthy planter returning from a trip to New York, and greeting the faithful retainer at the station with a "Well, you old rascal, anything happen at the estate while I was gone?"

"Nuthin wuth mentionin', boss," answers the retainer cheerily, "'Cept, of course, de two hands what died fum eatin' all dat burnt hoss flesh."

"Where on earth did they get hold of burnt horse flesh?"

"Dat was when de stables caught fire, boss."

"The stables?"

"Yassuh! Sparks fum de big house, dey figger."

"The big house! Sparks! How did the fire start?"

"Fum de candles round de coffin, suh. Place burned to de groun' afore we could do a thing."

"Good heavens, man! Whose coffin?"

"Your ma, boss. I s'pect she died fum de shock."

"What shock?"

"Yo' wife, boss. She done run away wid de butler."
