命中注定我爱你
Recently I was hooked onto 命中注定我爱你 drama serial... When it started, I was not even interested until I saw the preview and it just grew on me... It was funny and sometimes hilarious... and it was romantic too...
(Thank God the ending was a happy one.. I am such a sucker for good ending... :P)
The main actor is quite cute to be honest... :P hehe... I like him but yet at the same time, I realized I don't like his character at all... he is such an idiot!!! Really can't stand him being such wishy washy... if only he is more decisive where matters of love are concerned... the more decisive, the less hurts... that is in my opinion of course. 真的是又爱又恨。
A Year On....
Wow... Time passed quickly... It has since been a year...
Back on this little red dot... All have been well...
Was having so much 感触 this afternoon... now I don't know what to write...
hahaha...
I am doing fine, settled well into my job, gotten used to life in this little island... Going to have a new chapter in my life this coming October... I am excited and looking forward to it...
Mixed emotions
I am not feeling too much of emotions... am i sad to leave or am i happy to be home? I dont know... I am happy to go home, and sad to leave my friends behind... and perhaps i am going to miss the relaxed lifestyle in Houston...
Having been in Houston for almost 3 years, I have grown accustomed to the US lifestyle... i have much personal space and a nice apt (rented of course) and a cute car to drive around... things that i would not have in SG. There is nothing much in Houston but I am used to it... (i am pretty boring one...haha) And of course i have made many friends... friends who are close to my heart... I thank God for the chance to experience different things and hence it helped me broaden my horizons and widen my perspectives in life...
Of course in SG, my family and friends are waiting for me...and i am glad to go back where Home really is... less personal space, taking public transport and living in a HDB flat... back to reality. All these I am taking into my stride... there maybe adjustments but would not be too daunting or scary... as this is where i grew up and where i have lived most of my life thus far and going to live in... back to the familiarity of Home... Sweet... :)
SOLD!
I just sold my car!!! Yeah Praise God and Thank God!!!
I have listed my car for sale on Monday for $7k USD. However I did not get many calls as the Storm Edouard kicked in on Tuesday. People have called to see the car, appointments been made and cancelled due to schedule fit... at least someone was offering $6.5-6.8K. Then an idiot called and said he offered 3K cash... that was even worse than what carmax offered...
Carmax offer is already at pretty ridiculous price, at $4k. That is way too low. With good mileage, good exterior and interior and good mechanical, how can i get such a bad price?!Seriously one wants to say WTH! According to KBB, a good condition car is worth at least $6.6k if i sell to private buyers, and at a below than good condition, i can sell to a dealer at $4.2k. so errmmm where does the $4k comes from... search me....
Anyway I met this lady who said she is a student and i am a bit scared to meet strangers (esp alone...) At first she wanted to offer me 5.8 but I was planning to sell at 6.5... after much haggling and negotiating, i managed to get 6.4 which is abt a hundred bucks off... considering she is a student, a christian and she looks honest and i have a good feeling about her so i decided to sell the car to her. Hence i went back to get my papers and sold the car, got my money! and the most importantly I am happy! i feel good about it!
Hallelujah!!!!! Praise God and Thank God! God has provided a good price for my car and I believe God will provide a job with a decent pay and something i like to do... (God knows me best as I don't know what i really like to do...)
Yeah!!! I am just so happy!!! :)
God has called me home
As circumstances unfold, God has given me signs that he is calling me home, Singapore. He called me home sooner than I have planned.
No renewing of my car insurance, no need to go for servicing, no need to do oil change, no need to renew my registration, no need to renew apartment lease...
Pro 19:21 "Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails."
God is my provider... as He calls me home... I pray for God's providence for a job, God's help in everything, interviews, get shipping back home, smooth clearance on my CPA application (esp the fingerprint process), sale of my car and things, etc... etc...
Psa 144:2 "He is my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer, my shield, in whom I take refuge..."
I am going Home...
Home by Chris Daughtry
I'm staring out into the night,
Trying to hide the pain.
I'm going to the place where love
And feeling good don't ever cost a thing.
And the pain you feel's a different kind of pain.
I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old
So I'm going home.
Well I'm going home.
The miles are getting longer, it seems,
The closer I get to you.
I've not always been the best man or friend for you.
But your love, remains true.
And I don't know why.
You always seem to give me another try.
So I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old.
Be careful what you wish for,
'Cause you just might get it all.
You just might get it all,
And then some you don't want.
Be careful what you wish for,
'Cause you just might get it all.
You just might get it all, yeah.
Oh, well I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old.
I said these places and these faces are getting old.
So I'm going home.
I'm going home.
Hooray! to Boston NBA Champions & Portugal Loss!
I am not exactly a sports person. A little bit of background:
My influence on sports, spectator sports, comes from My dearest. And being a supportive (usually,
hehe) significant other, of course I take sides with Liverpool and against Cristiano
Ronaldo and support most teams that my dearest support.
Hence be it NBA or Soccer. This week was a great one!
NBA - Boston Celtics won NBA Title! I have been following the Final Playoffs and totally fallen in love with Boston Celtics. Well, the passion for Boston Celtics to win was fuelled stronger by my dislike of Kobe Bryant.
Kobe is a very good at what he does but I just don't like him. Ha! I can't really pinpoint why I don't like him, perhaps the impression I have of him is a self-centered person, and proud and maybe because of his scandalous past (must be). I am the kind of person if the artiste personal life screws up, usually the support I have or had will zero out....
hahah like Brad Pitt who has fallen out of my favourites actors. *
Boooooo* But after seeing Bryant congratulating
Garnett, well at least Bryant has some sportsmanship... (plus one point but still in deficit).
Anyway Boston did well in Game 6 and I was
sooOOO overjoyed. It was a good game! Just want to sing "We are the Champions.... We are the Champions...."
Well later on TV, followed after the NBA Trophy Presentation, I was still on ESPN and it was showing the scores of Germany vs Portugal (Euro Cup). The score was 2-1, 2-2 then 3-2 and when I saw Germany celebrating, I realized Portugal lost!
Hahaha! So I was thrilled to see
Ronaldo walked away a little sad... (as he is usually
yaya papaya when he wins or scores a goal). *obi good*
When it comes to people (Celebs) who are proud, I like to see them take a fall and suffered some setbacks (punishment for being proud). For people who are humble, I like to see them win or anything that is good happen to them make me feel happy (sense of fairness and good begets good) :)
And once again
YAY!!!! to Boston NBA CHAMPIONS and
Ronaldo's LOSS!
"We are the Champions... we are the Champions....................."
Love Hate Relationship
I hate my beetle now. It is going to suck my blood again. This time the lock dropped off so have to send in for repairs. First it does not give me good mileage amidst the rising gas prices, and it costs more to service it. A Toyota or Honda will probably serve me better with better mileage and lower maintenance costs. Now I have to cross my fingers and hope that the repair costs will not be too much... Sigh...
