I Am GREEN

got this test from a friend of mine....try it out.

U, your true color is Green!

You're green, the color of growth and vigor. Good-hearted and giving, you have a knack for finding and bringing out the best in people. Green is the most down-to-earth color in the spectrum — reliable and trustworthy. People know they can count on you to be around in times of need, since your concern for people is genuine and sincere. You take pride in being a good friend. For you, success is measured in terms of personal achievement and growth, not by status or position. Rare as emeralds, greens are wonderful, natural people. It truly is your color!

On A Friday Night Like This...

We haven't been spending much Fridays together recently, for we are both engaged in our own activities. Hence, I requested for us to spend this Friday night alone. It wasn't anything in spectacular that we did, yet I enjoyed it tremendously

I could almost hear our stomach rumbling like the drum roll...haha..the sound was thunderous. He told me, his mind can only think of the frog porridge and nothing else. This statement simply means, he had an appetitie like a cow (read: can eat alot lor).

Took a bus, delayed our dinner time by a little due to the jam during peak hours, i think due to the pangs of hunger, the journey seemed extremely long and arduous. Nevertheless, we managed to alight at the right bus stop and found the new place for frog porridge @ Geylang Lor 7 quite effortlessly. But one look into the coffeeshop, I turned my back. It didn't seem a very popular place and I don't see any customer having the frog porridge. In fact, the banner was to tiny and we almost missed it. It was 3 frogs for S$15. After much persuasion and hesitation, I managed to get him to go back to the old stall that we usually visit.

I guess an angry man is a hungry man, he seemed a little upset about changing venue. As a guy, when they set their eye on an objective, they would want to accomplish it. And today is to try out the porridge at the new stall. But I wasn't adventurous and game enough to try it. Called it my instinct, I rather spent my $$ on some food which I knew would taste delicious.

Lucky that the old stall was just a stone throw away, we ordered my favourite "gong bao tian ji" and a plate of fried osyters (oily but yummy!!). Very simple but fulfilling meal. After the dinner, with bloated tummies, we took a slow stroll down the lane. Saw many massage parlours on the way. But the look at it, with ladies skimpily dressed and parading their cleavage, I guess these massage parlour isn't just a decent parlour but one with EXTRA services. Along the way, I saw men negotiating with ladies (again dressed skimpily) and when a deal is being striked, they just simply walked away together. I hate the idea of being alone in geylang, because the chances of being mistaken as a "call girl" is highly possible, with lusting men lurking around.

Well, albeit all these, I enjoyed the stroll with him, knowing that he will protect me. Though it was a simple relaxed dinner and with no agenda, we can take things slowly . It is all these little simple things that make our hectic lives and lifestyle seemed more bearable

MINI Happiness

Supposed to book tickets for a weekend trip over to BKK for a x'mas getaway...but due to the super peak season now, the package prices are extremely exorbitant. Was a little upset and disappointed about not being able to go, deep down inside, I really want to get out of here to take a breather.

To compensate for the loss, I got an early x'mas prezzie...something I have always wanted. Yes, it's the IPOD MINI in LIME GREEN colour. Estactic...heehee..and it cost so much lesser than the BKK trip.

In addition, we have decided to visit the Night Safari and UnderWater World. ('o')/

Snap...Snap...Snap

Sooner or later, my friends ain't gonna talk to me anymore. Coz I just snapped at them. Imagine the aligator in the muddy swamp, with ugly, uneven teeth protruding from the side of his elongated mouth, ready to open and snap at his prey for a sumptuous meal. That's me..except that I don't practice cannibalism here.

Alot of my friends, out of concern, often the very first sentence they tried to start a conversation with goes like this...

Friend #1: Have you found a job yet??
Moi: Not yet but still trying...
Friend #1: Don't worry, you'll get one soon.
Moi: Thanks.

But there are also some others who showed their concern further, by making wrong assumptions and untactfully suggest their opinions of ME to ME!

Friend #2: Have you found a job yet??
Moi: Not yet but still trying...
Friend #2: Did you look for a job anot?
Moi: I did. But it's difficult to get a job at the end of the year.
Friend #3: Are you sure? I think you didn't put in effort.
Moi(my blood start to boil): I did, I sent in many resumes but was not called up for any interviews.
Friend #3: Don't be so picky
Moi (my blood hit boiling point and erupted like a volcano; i snapped): What makes you think that I am not putting in enough effort? I am more anxious and worried about not getting a job. I already lost count of the resumes I sent it but I just didn't get an interview. This is really beyond my control. *bark*
Friend #2: Dumbfounded *Silence*
The line went dead....(no lah, just joking but there was awkward silence though)

My dear dear friends out there (esp. friend #2), I really thank and appreciate each and everyone of you who showed concern for me. Indeed I am touched. Rest assured that I have put in as much effort as I can in finding a job. But a gentle reminder that it's really not easy getting a job, espcially at the end of the year where everyone is waiting for their big fat bonuses. Besides, sending in 100 resumes do not guarantee 100% interviews. If you wanna tell me it's silly of me to leave my previous job, save your breath. I just got out of a temporary depression 2 weeks ago and honestly, I don't wish to get into that dark pit again. In the meantime, I will build up my confidence to get myself ready for the challenges of tomorrow.

At least, I already went for 3 interviews and things are starting to move, albeit the tortise tempo, at least better than nothing.

Lastly if you (friend #2 or anyone else) are offended, I am sorry but I speak my mind. If you know me well enough, this is nothing personal. 对事不对人.

The Second Day Of The Festive December

Today marks a very special day in my life. To some of you, it could be just another day. Or perhaps for those who are already in the festive mood, it may mean that christmas is drawing near. Tight schedules filled to the brim with some last minute shopping, looking forward to that long-awaited and oh-so-expensive-super-duper-peak-season-holidayings...blah blah blah.

In fact, I knew something fishy was going on. It was unusual of him to carry a big bag especially when we had lots to accomplish for the day. In the morning, with our heavy eyelids threatening to close anytime on us, we managed to send James off (read my previous post). Then (due to some personal reason), I had to rush back home. It ended up with the two of us taking a short nap (the bed was too tempting to resist...we were just too tired after a night of clubbing and squabbling into the wee hours). Curiousity kills the cat. Took much restraint on my part not to ask him about the big bag (read: prominent), I just can't bear to kill the excitement and surprise (I guessed) he had been planning.

Sumptuous dinner: we had pepper crabs (crabba-licious) @ the famous Joo Chiat stall.

It was getting dark after a short stroll along the beach. He told me he brought some sparklers and asked if I wanted to play with them. We arranged them accordingly in the dark (I could hardly see my own hand). Then he took out the lighters and we were supposed to light them up. But I freaked out the moment I ignite 1 sparkler (the sparklers were placed too closely together) and left him to the rest of the job. Sparklers he bought were vertically-challenged, and within seconds, part of the sparklers got ignited and burnt out, leaving the rest, out in the cold.

It was a failure. We couldn't get all the sparklers ignited at the same time. Learnt one good lesson, we'll definitely fare better next time. But I could still make out what he was trying to shape. Then...he turned his back on me and took out something from his pocket. Something small but shiny in the dark. He knelt down and proposed to me. I did anticipated that, but I was truly touched by his effort. Neverthless, of course I said YES!!

He got me something else. 2 clay figures that supposed to look like us...but honestly, we both agreed that there weren't any resemblance but yet, it'll be something for us to look back on many years down the road. Flowers withered, fanciful words fade, but these will serve as memories for us both.

On this very same day exactly one year later, it will mark a very special and significant chapter of our lives. We will bid adieu to our singlehood and embrace our new status and life with much enthusiasm and love, for as long we both shall live.
