busy bee

been busy the past weeks...
wrk is tough... don't quite have the luxury (except now) to breathe, and do non-work stuffs.. haven't been shopping or meeting up with frens to catch up after wrk (something i used to do quite often). been heading home straight to babysit the nephews and making sure mom is fine... (mom been sick lately.. *worried*)
the boyfriend has been busy too... but we still manage to squeeze time to chat via him sleeping over! haha!
having to go to wrk, and stayed back late @ wrk, followed by visit to his mom... all the late dinners (or supper, rather) has been adding more roundness to his already round tummy.

dad recently told him not to worry abt the wedding... that he is okay with a small, cosy wedding... i am thankful for my parents' understanding but we shall work towards a bigger wedding (bigger need not mean grander, just means being able to invite and provide for more relatives to come and celebrate with us).

if a really small, cosy reception, i have some fine idea$$! haha!

emptier house

eldest sis finally moved out... after 29yrs living together with the family... must be hard for my parents to see her go... mum so melancholic, and dad so... *sigh*
think it's harder for my sis too... well, she will miss mom's food and mom's concern... she is very spoilt la.. hahahahah!!

as for me, it's ok.. but i really felt her absence when i was late for wrk on Tue, and woke up so late today! you see, she is very noisy and she automatically becomes my wake-up alert! she bustles abt doing stuffs, go in and out from her room (which is opposite mine), opening drawer, closing drawer, the works! actually always quarreled with her la, but now... hahah!

you always miss the person, esp the idiosyncracies, when he/she is not there anymore. hmmm...

and think she is not welcome back, esp after Fahmie has branded her ex-room to be his now! haha!

cinta

Cinta is a movie released late last year in Malaysia and i just caught it on DVD.









Love... one emotion that is ever present, always needed and this movie captures the story about love... the emotional cycles of it, the many definitions of it.



1) Can you remember love, the sense of it, the look of it, despite not remembering it?

2) Love happens unexpectedly, but can love overcome status, wealth, and the materialistic world?



3) Sacrifice for love - how much? To what extent?

4) Fight for love, for the love to stay, or does love means being able to let go of the one you love?



5) The fallible human can succumb to the worthless murmurs of sweet nothings. But is that real love? Can true love shine so bright so as to awaken the blind?




Share with me your definition of love




Sometimes the one you love most, is the hardest to love.



another similarly good movie to watch too! Ada apa dengan Cinta (What's Up With Love)

listen to lovely song here!

shake quake

another earthquake occurred ystdy afternoon, and everyone in Shenton Way are caught off-guard but am sure those panicky ones and the kiasus "fleed for their life"! as for me and colleagues, we took the opportunity to have a long lunch! by the time we are back, some buildings still did not allow the ppl back in!

am really thankful we are in a protected place... singapore that is. naturally blocked to hinder us from all the natural calamities, but we must never be complacent. I am proud that the govt is well-prepared, ensuring the people that the buildings are within regulation and are safe and shld be able to endure shakes.

i extend my deepest condolences and sympathies to those affected by the tragedy. it is a tragedy and the world is becoming really unsafe and everything volatile.

is Planet Mars ready for occupation? You think?

p/s: sista emailed me that explorers discovered a new island formed in South Pacific! another indication of impending armageddon! aargh!

another great weekend

realised haven't been posting much, esp now that my internet @ home is on bedrest (aka kaput).

last weekend was great! went to Farl & Iswadi's wedding with the boyfriend (our first wedding event together)an Ijah and Raihan tagged along to recce... haha! the wedding was beautiful... simple but just great! and their block of flats.. pretty pretty! the boyfriend now super interested in moving there! haha!

we were supposed to watch "seducing mr perfect" but the showtime was bit too late for tired me so we went home and got supper for him, mom and amie. he slept over cos we planned to go to the geylang wet market early next morning! heard his cute snore... hahah!

then hadi had to do his merlion- style vomitting, 5mins from reaching home... repulsive! yucks! and poor boyfriend had to clean up the mess... yucks! Hadi is banned from getting a ride for one month now... but anyway, see how cute Fahmie is! always so helpful! haha!

speaking of fahmie, he is really adorable. Nowadays, he always kicks off the day with "I'm so happy today!" (this is exact sentence, no editing from me! great!) and ask him why he is happy? and he will reply, cos "no one scold me!" i love his exuberance and his positive outlook on life, regardless... my dahling!

*and hope my momma will have a gd rest after being diagnosed with arthritis.

no shopping for a year

Was at MPH just now and came across this book "One year Without Shopping".

I totally disregarded the book... i read the back page and gave a 'bah!'. eeew! How can?! That is preposterous!

The boyfriend recently decreed upon me "Go home straight after work - if you go home straight, you will not be tempted to shop and will not shop." That already is difficult to do and i have yet to embark on it. But I am determined to... from April onwards la. haha!

But no shopping for one year?! No can do! Crazy! hah!
