Family will always be the best. They will always be there for you, and they love you with all their heart, their mind and soul. There will always be this bond that holds a family together. Irregardless of whether you are right of wrong, they will always be on your side. They make me laugh even when
everything is so damn bad. Somehow, they have this ability to make everything seem better.
Recently, I really got to see what reality is really like, how cruel people can be and what means they would adopt to get the things that they want. And I feel like I am not someone who has the capability to 'fight' against such people. Because I absolutely can't handle such issues, I always end up at the losing end. Now I know that in order for me to handle such issues, I must grow up. Whatever it is, I am glad that I get to face such things now, and not later on in my life.
If you don't know what I am talking about, just know ONE thing: -
Never ever take anything at surface value. Dramas might be dramas, but they are really depicting what real life is all about. Even when you think something so inherently wrong can only happen in dramas, IT'S NOT TRUE. It could actually be happening in your life right now, this very second when you are talking or breathing.
But whatever it is, I am so glad for my family and Derrick. Thanks darling for always being so wise and intellectual. Although I started working earlier than you, it seems like you know how to handle things better than me. Thank you for helping me understand the person that I am. Because I am so afraid to say no, I will do everything that people want me to do, but I still get disadvantaged. No one is ever indispensable in this world. I always had this belief in life - When you do good unto others, they will do good unto you. But it's not true :( it's so disappointing but it's a fact of life. Thanks bom, for helping me understand.
I must always always keep the people who matters to me close by my side. You guys know very well who you are (:
To end off, here is a picture of lil D and I on our KL trip! Trips are very important to me especially when I am working. It's for me to get my motivation up everytime I am tired. Maybe you should do it too! Cheers-

Okay, time to blog about my short Bangkok trip with the boyfriend.
It's our second time there, and I really restricted my shopping because I
don't want to end up buying too many things but end up not wearing all
of it (like the other time). So, I really spent all my money very
wisely. And I'm happy with the result. I end up wearing almost all my
Bangkok loots and the clothes are really much cheaper (for the quality)
and it's prettier than my previous loots. (: Anyway, we ate a lot more
this time round but the food was disappointing!
I remember telling Derrick and we concluded (from the last trip) that Bangkok food can
never go
wrong. Wherever we go, the food is damn good. What the heck, the second
trip really made us regret saying that. We went to a restaurant called
"Cabbage & Condoms" which was damn difficult to find. Waste my
time, effort, energy & money (that I could very well go shopping
with it, worse thing is after eating, we kept talking about our
opportunity costs). The restaurant actually had a very good concept
behind it, helping kids with HIV I think? All the statues were made up
of condoms and instead of giving mints to their customers, they give
free-flow condoms. Anyway, free condoms is not the point. K lah, let the
pictures do the talking.

I haven’t been blogging here for ages! But I miss writing,
so very much. I miss penning my thoughts down, because in a way, it helps me
remember things more vividly when I re-read my posts. I was re-reading my
exchange posts and I really, really miss Amsterdam.
Come to think of it, it’s already been 8 months since I have
started work as an HR executive. I enjoy doing HR actually, dealing with the
people aspect of the business. Anyway, I have always been way too talkative, so
I think speaking to people is no problem for me. 8 months here, but I still
have a lot more to learn. And in a way, I feel like recently, I have this
thirst for more knowledge? But I can never (ever)
get myself to do anything about it. thirst
then?>
I have decided that I have (definitely have to!) do the
following items by the end of June 2013. Things that I have procrastinated for
way too long:
1. To sort out all the nitty gritty small little
stuff that I got over exchange. I want to make this “Travel Journal” for me to
look at when I feel nostalgic again. (WE ARE GOING TO GO THERE FOR MY HONEYMOON
OKAY MR DERRICK ONG? LET’S REALLY WORK HARD FOR THAT!)
2. I have to register myself for that Korean class!
3. I must really make it a habit to do my Quiet
Time DAILY (really needs a lot of discipline especially when I am such a lazy
girl).
4. Start my investment plans with the boyfriend. I don’t
know whether we are planning way too early for our future, but I would think it
is something that is important for couples to do especially when they are
thinking of settling down. It’s too expensive to own anything in Singapore now.
5. Read the news everyday (not whenever I feel like
it’s time to read it).
Anyways, I realise that my blog has absolutely no photos, so
I will make it habit to post a picture (or two, depending on my mood) that makes
me happy, after every blog post. Then my blog will look like it’s more alive :]
This is going to be my first photo in a long time :]

Think I'll probably upload our 2nd Bangkok trip during the next post! :) Cheers!-

it's been so long since i've last blogged properly and blogger got a new look. wow.
just decided to blog because, i've finally graduated and am officially an UNEMPLOYED PERSON as of now. the stress is starting to build up because the people around me are already employed and even if they are not, they are not exactly eager for a job. but i DEFINITELY need to start earning some bucks because of the way i'm spending lately...
grad trips like bangkok and taiwan are sucking my funds dry and i have absolutely no idea how much im really spending.. till i rly take a look at my updated bankbook. BUT NONETHELESS, im glad im going for the taiwan trip tomorrow night. 2 weeks to enjoy before crap i start hunting.
bangkok has been pretty awesome because of my so very wonderful companion, mr derrick ong. :) he has been an awesome awesome companion for the past months, and hanging out with him in bkk made us closer than ever; seeing how ridiculously cute he is despite the stupid stuff he does..
ive been hanging out with my friends as well! mahjonging, shopping, PLAYING
REAL ESCAPE GAMES with weeby eieitoh candice yx and johnstan. i really feel damn FEI in the group cause i didnt manage to help them figure out any riddles; but just kept panicking.. but really! one shld go try this game at least once! hahaha raaather exciting?!??!
andddd ive recently started reading books again. missed how much i loved reading in the past. taking book after book, just reading and reading. whether i like the content or not. i just finished
the perks of being a wall flower by
stephen chbosky. awesome book i have to say; uniquely written- all in the form of letters to a stranger. to me, its about this high schooler who's ordinary but yet, possesses this particular asset of being so sensitive and understanding about everything. he thinks a bit too much (which sort of reminds me of me), which kinda backfired on him somehow. but the author is rly rather cool. he gives honest opinions about nice books and songs and he writes real titles in his story. i think he has at least 20 different song titles or book titles in the book; sort of taunting the reader to really go read or listen to the music/book. INTERESTING.
and because the main lead keeps reading so many different books, he makes me want to do that toooo.

24 For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
