10 simple things one should be happy about.

1. Knowing you've done the right thing.
2. Spending time with people you care about.
3. Laughing so hard your face hurts.
4. A hot shower or a bubble bath.
5. No lines at the supermarket.
6. Hearing your favorite song on the radio.
7. Finding a 20 dollar bill in your coat from last winter.
8. Waking up and realizing you still have a few hours left to sleep.
9. Making eye contact with a cute stranger.
10. Sweet dreams.

Music takes you to another world.

Experts say that it will take one month for a new piano to adapt to its new surroundings - temperature and humidity wise. Bah! Hogwash. But! Since it wasn't cheap in the first place, I decided to wait (just to be safe) and finally, today the guy came to unlock the keys and tune it... I get to play with it now! yay

Out of sight.

Cherry Boms - you would be so proud of me. I re-pierced my belly button and it's healing well. I'll show you in November at the wedding. But! bad news for Team Ariana and the badminton team, I won't be around for any matches anytime soon! Cheers.

24 March 2009.

My birthday was awesome.. ! Thank you all for the birthday wishes and presents! *hugs n kisses* The office 'surprised' me with a birthday cake and flowers.. and then I joined the team for snacks at Kwai's and then pool. Couldn't help but blush when the pool place wished me a happy birthday over the P.A. (in french).

Uhhh...

10 men to avoid.

I came across this article online, thought it was interesting:-

There are some men who might be fun for a fling, but not a serious relationship says Dr Rosie, author of Good Loving, Good Sex.

He's not into you
This is the guy who doesn't respond to you. He doesn't ring within a reasonable time, he doesn't want to spend romantic time with you and he's not affectionate. If you're doing more than 50 per cent of the work, walk away from this one.

He's prettier than you
While we'd all like to date Brad Pitt, you should avoid the metrosexual who spends more time staring in the mirror putting product in his hair than you do. Escape while he's applying his wrinkle-reducing, moisturising sunblock.

He loves sport too much
There's a fine line between a great guy who loves sport and the raging maniac who loves sport way too much. Steer clear at the first sign of extreme sport obsession, otherwise you'll be stuck watching every lame game the sports channel has to offer and feeding his burping buddies on weekends.

He's the constant critic
For this guy, nothing is good enough. You're too fat, too noisy, too stupid. He doesn't like the way you walk, talk or even breathe. He's a natural critic and speaks only from his own undeniable perfection. While he's busy looking down his nose at you, make a quick get-away.

He's damaged goods
Sure, he seems sensitive and caring when you first meet and he tells you how his heart has been broken. Then he tells you it was 10 years ago and you begin to realise that he just loves telling his sob story and he's never going to let anyone get close to him again — including you.

He's married
Of course his wife doesn't understand him. Here's the bottom line — he is simply not available. No matter what he tells you, if he's still sharing bed and breakfast with his wife, move right on without giving him a second look.

He's a no-hoper
This is the guy without prospects and usually without a job or a car. You pay for everything and play chauffeur. No matter how much you give him, all he gives back is sex and a bit of guitar playing. He's looking for someone to take care of him. Is it going to be you?

He has too much baggage
He's paying maintenance to multiple ex-partners. He has difficult children, some of whom live with him. He's more than a tad bitter and will tell you all his woes. Get out before you're left holding the bag.

He can't make a decision
This guy is such a waffler he can't even decide if he wants you. He'll avoid making arrangements until the last minute, just in case something better comes along. He's always thinking about changing his career, moving house, selling up and getting away. Even when he's with you he keeps his eye open for the next good thing. This guy is essentially greedy. He wants it all and thinks he might be missing something better every moment he's with you. He doesn't need you; he needs years of intensive therapy.

He wants to be a star
When a man sets his eyes on the top of the tree, you will always come second on his list of priorities. Whether he wants to save the world, be head of the company, a politician or a brain surgeon, your needs pale in comparison. He won't have time or energy left at the end of the day for you and he'll expect you to take care of the petty details of his life so he can get on with the job of being magnificent. He won't share the spotlight, so get out before it's too late.

Just to be fair to the opposite sex, this is an article for you http://inventorspot.com/dolls_to_avoid, 10 types of women to avoid.

Snow-White-88: 'Exit. Stage left'. *lols*

Farewell to Shazam @ T-Rex's residence, Tannay

Why do today what you can do tomorrow?

My very organised mess.

You can find my name in the word 'procrastination'. *lols*

So called 'armoury' of the house...

I'm exercising my right as proclaimed in the

Universal Declaration of Human Rights 1948:

Article 24. Everyone has the right to rest and leisure, including reasonable limitation of working hours and periodic holidays with pay. AWESOME!!

Kai means 'Fire'

Never again am I ever going to take central heating for granted! If I had to choose between that and hot water in the house, I'd rather have central heating. At least you can boil some water. But of course, with Murphy's Law... I have NEITHER at the moment! Brrr...!! It's so cold in here, icicles are starting to form in the ceilings *laughing hysterically* haha.. haha... ha.. haa... uwaaaaaaa!!!

Snow outside + no central heating + no hot water = a very sick snow-white-88.

Red Bull VS Cough Syrup

COUGH SYRUP WINS! I could barely keep my eyes open last night, thanks to this magic potion. No amount of red bull was able to keep me up haha. Anyways, being sick with other people is more fun than being sick alone..! Wanna share my red bull? :p

The first cherry to get engaged..!

CONGRATULATIONS to Meng for getting engaged on Valentine's Day!!

Check out the size of this rock!! Took Jordan months to find! Awww

Ting, you're NEXT! I love you both to death *lols*

A King's castle is his home.

Yes - Sunday was housekeeping day... that was supposedly the plan every week, BUT i always end up being out or sleeping all day. haha. This time however, for once in a very very long time, i managed to actually do the laundry and clean the house. The floor of the living room is so clean now that you could literally EAT off it..! Doing some housekeeping can really destress you. True, from the radio i heard that 20 mins of doing the dishes can significantly reduce your stress levels. But any more than 20 mins, it then goes back to being stressful!

Anyhow, useless facts aside, nothing beats the feeling of warm bed sheets straight from the dryer..! Ahh... Zzz... Zzz...

How do you say 'cute' in Japanese?

OMG

it's

KAWAII!

Blood suckers.

This image totally freaked me out. Of course, blood suckers are everywhere - most of time you don't even notice or see them, even if they are right infront of you. I reckon (just like everything else) it takes a trained eye to notice them. At times i feel like i am one too at certain situations, hey as they say - it takes one to know one.. Uhh, yeah. Dillusional!!

Only do things that make a difference.

There is a story behind every painting. And just like this, there is a reason behind every post i make on this blog. I don't know if this blog makes a difference in anything, but i know at least it lets me connect with family and closest friends. You know who you are... *wink* xoxox

Solace, n. The comfort you feel when consoled in times of misery or disappointment

Someone said to me once 'Don't regret what you have done, only regret what you have not done'.. This is the time of your life when you should be doing the things you want to do... things that make you happy. Don't wait for that special occasion to wear that nice expensive perfume. Don't wait for that holiday to enjoy yourself. There is more to life than just work. It's ok to make mistakes in life because in the end... no one is getting out of it alive. We are all going to die. It could be tomorrow. At that car accident. Or from that disease. Or from old age. No one is immune.

Wow so deep lah.. haha. Anyway, i love this proverb 'Work like you don't need the money, love like you've never been hurt and dance like no one is watching'.

Live a little..

P/s: It's ironic how this picture (and the title) does not match with what i'm saying in this post. Maybe.. i don't mean what i say or say what i mean..

High on coke.

The team met up at T-Rex's place for some military training... ok, ok.. it was more like watching military videos hehe. I drank too much coke so now I'm on sugar-high mode. I feel sorry for my kidney - it's working overtime. Anyhow, we had fun. And! It was desi's birthday so we celebrated with cake at midnight (more sugar coming through!) *lols* happy birthday!

Many happy returns..

Happy Birthday Mum!! Thank you for always being there for me and the boys.. We love you to bits... (I'm doing a little hamster dance for u as we speak) *lols*

Contradiction is a part of life.

When you're in a relationship, you crave to be single again. And when you're single, you feel so lonely, you want to be with someone. Why do we always go out of our way to hold on to the wrong ones and let the right ones slip right through our fingers? We are insatiable beings, yes, we are..
