pots of plants ::

my dad planted a bitter gourd plant outside my flat. so cute, i was looking at all the tendrils of the plant. you know right, its a creeper-type. it has a very nice green colour, i like.

hm, i tried planting a few occassions too, balsam plants, catus etc.. but all failed leh. :P /looks at fingers. yes, they're not green. hur hur..

spacing out yet productive ::

i don't know what got into me, but yesterday was really this blessed day. Praise God! That reminded me also, tomorrow i've to go for pda classes. man, i want to go. apologetics classes are usually very interesting.

okay, i disgressed again. oh, i went for this interview yesterday. just felt that things have been happening around too fast, and i was like doing things just because i want to get things done and wasn't really emotionally involved. was i? but anyway, was thinking i should get a part time job to stablised my income, so i went to apply for a part time job. and before i know it, i was like updating my resume and going to interview. okay, only one interview lah, but well.. half the time, i think i was pretty focused. which was good i supposed.

anyway, i think they won't want me, cos the interviewer was like.. "why won't you stay with your current job? your paycheck is way bigger than most of the staff here.." and he repeated a lot of times. then eventually was citing nationality as an issue as singaporeans will still have to take a 20% cut to deposit into the CPF, so the take home pay would be very little and on the average, each staff earn less than $1500. okay, i realised i was very fortunate. and that my previous previous boss gave me many opportunities. but no, im not wanting to go back, partially because of work environment and i just want a short term stint so that i can stablise my income. so if i go back and get out after say 3 months, not very nice mah.

anyway, im happy that i can space out, yet i can still go on and on about the things i have to do. you know what i mean, maybe im more grown up now!

i managed to fix up a major part of my so-called crisis. quite happy. and my clients gave me ang pow! teehee.. :P but then of course, that aside, i still cannot afford to be complacent about money issues.

felt really blessed. =)

pc momo, julli-rella and friends tralalala!! ::

met up with pc momo today! felt very comforted after talking to her, but i doubt i can ever get around doing it. i know what to do, i share the same sentiments.. but shoot! what am i doing now?! *argh*

but girl, despite not being able to see tara today cos you never bring her. *humph* hahaha.. but im happy to see you. and happy to hear your opinions. well, in a way, we had all grown up, matured.

and i felt so refreshed seeing julli-rella. just like the secondary school days.

i had a good hair day today. =) nice curly structuredly messy tresses. teehee... *zi lian*

anyway, i popped by kino today and saw 3 books i wanted to get.
1) bao bao blah blah blah..
forgot what's the title, but its written by cai kang yong, the co-host for kangxi lai le. i think he's really talented. like his opinions. and read a little, realised his style of writing is digestible. for someone like me lah.. its those traditional chinese leh.. not normal style. well.. i'll have karaoke to thank!

2) this pictorial by this taiwanese author jimmy. can't see what's the details, but looks whimsy and nice.

3) rules for life.
i think this book is really interesting. i wonder how many of us are actually trial and erroring. and how many chances do we have to actually trial and erroring. not much.. so well.. we may jolly well have to play by life's rules.

wanted to find another book - shi jian di tu. Time map. i think its really interesting, since its talking about time concept in different countries. =)

after which met up with jewel for dinner and was walking pass boon lay mrt station when i was waylaid by a few insurance agents. :P

i was just thinking whether i should come up with a blog entry on how to repel insurance sales agents. hahahaha.. :P
okay, here goes,
1) say you're on the phone ( i always have the ear piece stuck to my ear)
2) say you're chasing for the bus.
3) say you're filled in the form a million times
4) smile and talk to them in gibberish. WHAHHAHAHA.. :P

i don't know..

think zhutou-tikopeh's market research went really well. *smirk*
all the dilenmas' of the world will not clarify your little idealistic mind.

anyway, the korean show with lee dong gun (LEE DONG GUN!!!!) will be showing on channel U soon... watch watch.. teehee.. the actress is so cute. and so is the actor. obviously. hahahaha.. ;)

out of the social norm? ::

i received a call which kind of upset my opinion on society in general i didn't know how to describe it, but its pretty unnerving, to me at least.

my tenant- a divorced study mama, called and cried over the phone, asking me some questions in relation to property and law.

her story in a nutshell, she says she's caught in some tangle of relationship with this seperated guy. she seems to want to get married to him despite him being embroiled in divorce proceedings and that he may eventually lose everything because of divorce. okay, my point not being that there's no point marrying someone who is about to lose everything, but rather i think she's not even sure if she likes him. she's marrying him simply because he's "pitiful"? that he'll suffer depression if she leaves him.

suddenly, the whole scenerio seemed a little lopsided. you know what i mean? on one hand, its a little too practical on the lady's side and too lovelorn on the guy's side?

personally, the tenant is somewhat my friend and i do like her values when i last talk to her. i think she's so down to earth and she's really not out to thrash any families and her daughter is so sweet.

but on the retrospective side, i think maybe its time to get into the real world. ideal relationships doesn't exist anymore. maybe people should start accepting divorce as part and parcel of their journey in life.

if they went through it all and succeeded aka eventually getting married, gee.. i wonder if its something based on convenience? it seemed to be so right on her part. i mean.. its a little warped to me that is, its like some decision that has no right or wrong.. and apparently, it might improved someone else's life. but isn't it a little dysfunctional?

man.. what did i just wrote? things are still a little hazy.. to me that is. or many i was just rambling on.. and lost my point. but well.. *shrugs* will update this again if i firmed up my opinions.
