Good weeknd and no Monday blues!

Very good Saturday, even better Sunday with a great movie deal, free movie tic, happy session over lunch and value for money dinner!! What more can I say. :)) ♥

In eons..

Since I last peeled from a sunburn. :o Amazed. It was JC when I last did! 

Which can only mean.. This time is the worst since orientation in JC!!! @_@

________________

In eons since I can't remember when, it was a good lunch. The interaction between the colleagues is really <3 The unique gathering of MX-s from all units is something ever so special. :)

Think I had enough

Sometimes I try to be rational. And sometimes I failed. It's the times when I failed that it really sucks.

認命吧

Sometimes, it isn't as if the more you try to pretend that things didn't happen, things will go away after a while. 

Sometimes I think it just accumulates more and explodes on a more violent point. So, yeah, there's no point hiding from the facts anymore.

Random = happy

For reasons which I don't want to go into, I woke up pleasantly surprised to find mom at home. And it has been forever since we sat down in the kitchen on a Saturday (with the pig in the room) to breakfast. I totally missed the feeling! And I sprouted a random suggestion (ok, it wasn't that random after all, I needed to grab something from office) and they gamely accepted and that was how I rallied my family to go Holland Village for lunch and end up at NIKE for some awesome discounts! Discount on discount: 700 bucks to 300 bucks. :))))

Visited ALOT of places today that I wouldn't have gone on a normal day.. West Coast Plaza, HV on a Saturday, Vista Point (I know, ?!?!) But it was good fun and I wish I have more of such days!!

Almost midweek

CPDD Day! I think it was fun overall and while I do enjoy being outside, being lobstered was not the intention zzz. But at least it was lots of fun and padi planting is nice! For a try, that is, not as a lifelong career.. o.o

And now that GE2011 is over the election fever has died down and I am very disappointed that GY will be out of politics from now on. But what's over is over and let's hope PAP works hard to bring back every voter else GE2016 will be..... unpredictable.

But another fever has persisted, and will the weather please be not so hot!? Perspiring every day at home is not an option!!!!

I am sorely disappointed.

I am fed up with the "you are civil servant, so you have to vote for PAP." HELLO, FOR THE LAST BLOODY TIME, CIVIL SERVICE CONSTITUTES MORE THAN THAT. I AM FROM THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH. THE PARLIAMENT IS FROM THE LEGISLATIVE BRANCH.

And I find it totally ungracious for my views to be dismissed just because I am different.

I am very, very disappointed. And sad.

Brand loyalty

Finally the election rallying and campaigning has come to a close. Cooling off day in 10 min time! Hopefully all the voters will already have a good indication of who they will vote for. Must maintain my political neutrality.. :)

________________________

I realise that I am very loyal to the brands I support. As long as they have not completely failed me, I will stick through the brand thick or thin.. 

Nokia (until HTC arrived...)

Singapore (yes, Singapore is a brand and I get very fiercely loyal over that)

NUS + TJC + AHS (sorry, too detached from my pri sch already)

Accessories and clothes (just look at the number of cards that I have)

so on, so forth..

Perhaps some of them may be foolish brand loyalty, but as long as it works, why not?

And so what I want to really say is, I was at the supermarket yesterday, and I saw Fruit Tree Fresh and Peel Fresh. I would choose Peel Fresh over Fruit Tree Fresh anyway, simply because I am accustomed to drinking the former. It works for me. I didn't even bother to compare the price; I didn't know how much the latter cost. Why should I give up my steady 90 cents, for something else which may be cheaper, but may also be more expensive, and yet I don't know how I would take to the contents? 

Perhaps I may like it. But perhaps I may also develop an allergy to it. So.. Why should I change for the sake of changing?

Nothing short of a miracle

That one time where I logged into Friendster, that one time where I saw the update, that one time where I decided to take action.

And I actually got a reply. And so I had my answer after 6 years. 

Nothing short of a miracle. But at least I feel somewhat.. Relieved at this moment.

Mr Rainbow.. :)

One packed long weekend

Packed with news, that is. Following the GE news closely everyday; it has become a hot topic for every single person that I met. Exchanging our views and the current situation in the respective constituencies. 

And then Osama died today. 

I was very touched by President Obama's speech. His natural charisma, his way of touching people's lives with a simple statement, totally blew me off. I'm glad that amidst the chaos of all, a silver lining has shone through for him in his pick-up-the-pieces position as the U.S. President. Somehow, the U.S. citizens today (or yesterday, for them), came together again, reunited by the their loss and sense of belonging through the crisis, and emerged the (temporary) winner after 10 long years of battle with terrorism.

The line which left the most impression and probably was the one to nearly induce a couple of droplets:

President Obama: "... let me say to the families who lost loved ones on 9/11 that we have never forgotten your loss ..."

Indeed, justice has been done, for all the 2,977 victims on September 11.
