Thank you for keeping me together when I am falling apart.

Thank you lord there's roof up above me, I have a good and comfy zone to sleep, There's food on my table, and shoes on my feet. You gave me your love, lord, and a fine family. I have genuine friends that treats me like part of their family. I thank you lord, for all your blessings to me.

10 ways to be happy:

- Accept the things you can't change. If you can and want to change them, do it.

- Let go of the people who are holding you down. If you considered them, you already know who these people are.

- Blast your favourite upbeat song and sing at the top of your lungs, dancing as you go.

- Go for a run, a nice long run. Run until you feel good, at the very least, you'll be tired enough that the feelings will seem less major.

- Call someone you love, just hearing their voice can make your day better.

- Smile at a stranger, it'll make both of you smile.

- Send an anonymous compliment

- Write down everything you dislike about yourself, rip it up and burn it down.

- Watch your favourite movie/comedy/drama

- Realized that you're your own biggest critic. People do not see the faults ibn yourself that you do, so realize that they are not faults, not imperfections. They make you, YOU.

Believe you can and you're halfway there.


Unintentionally wore the same coloured outfit someday back last week.




Finally able to wear lens.




 The boy brought me to bugis for a quick and short shopping before we head home to prepare for Zhiyi's 24th @ Csc Bukit Batok. Million thanks to Joanna'egg for satisfying my craving for Garrett popcorns, joined them half an hour before I left to Nana for Shirley's 21st birthday celebration! Home early as the boy was rushing me a couple hours later...

Got our very own ipad casing.










A coincidental bump.



And so it was family gathering for BBQ session nearby granny's place for Uncle's birthday. Fruitful night, well-spent with the maternal sides' cousins like always.






 Went to farmart to witness Weilong trance Monkey god before supper at 216 with John kor, Raynard, Youngersis & Bf. I have a very sweet boyf who'll carry me across the wet plank b'cse I don't wanna dirty my sandals, it went well when we just reached, managed to carry me over the wet mud smoothly but unfortunately sprained & injured his left leg while leaving.. Don't know if he'd said the wrong thing in the temple or not.. Sigh, his foot was bleeding profusely before he realized.. I felt so guilty :(

 It seems like things aren't going very smoothly this year. I somewhat feel like quitting my job, have some time alone peacefully without any noises or people bothering me.. Need some time out to sort out my feelings, learn not to act impetuously. But just everytime, I'll fail, I'll lose all confidence I had & when time ripe, I'll just have to rebuild a new but original me all over again, feeling somehow fatigue. Sick of this cruelty world.

You're the reason why I persist even when I have thousands of reasons why I should give up, you taught me most of the lessons in life, gave me courage though at times I'll flare. Show me how I should face the realistic world with your very own ways, how I should mend my mistakes to make allowance for improvements. From a small girl to a young adult, you've never once turned your back on me. You lift me when I fall, showed me what's right & wrong. Too thankful for the greatest gift from god, thank you for all the patience towards such a demanding/unreasonable/temperamental girlf.

Ever once asked myself what was the reason for me to die hard in blogging. Today it finally came across my mind, and that's because I want to jot down every single journey of my life, so that when I have the time, I can scroll through the archives & realize how much I've changed over the years, for the better or worse, and the memories left behind.. I realized blogging is never my passion anymore, it is a habit & I will continue for as long as I live. Whether are there any readers or not, I'll insist.

Of cse why I'm considering to quit this job. One, long working hours. Second, the low wages. I know I'm not a very hardworking or one of the nurse with best performance, that's because "we do what we get paid" Am I right or wrong to say this? Hmmm..
 
NEED A TIME OUT. PERIOD

Spend wisely, invest the rest

Hey all, sorry for the neglect. Been quite busy over the holidays & I haven't been home since the first day of new year. Well, this shall just be a rough summary of my whereabouts during cny as I've been experiencing blur visions since chu2, yet to recover so even the words on the screen now is blur to me.. I have to keep straining my eyes & it feels really sucky.

On the 8th, I had my reunion dinner with the paternal side's cousins. Had a short, quick and quite delightful catch-up//dinner.

The boy brought me for Little pancakes on the 9th, which is on the Chinese New Years' Eve. Steamboat with my beloved cousins, aunts & uncles @ granny's place with the maternal sides'.Whether it is Cny or not, I always have fun with my maternal sides' cousins. We're so close like brothers and sisters & we share everything together be it good or bad. So, like the previous CNY, it was midnight movie! :D The boy clicks well with all my cousins & elderly, so needless to say, whichever occasion, and whenever we gather, he'll be there to bring//share laughter as well. Ah boys to men 2 was marvellous, except that the monthly period visits so accurately when I was about to enjoy this favourite occasion & resulted a very angst me.

Well as usual, I'll follow the boy to his paternal sides' relatives places before I bring him to mine. Really enjoy Chinese New Year as we hardly get to see each other due to tight schedules & distance..Jolene's place to gamble with the usual cliques, went to John kor's place to visit him & Jason before home.

I never fail to bug the boy to bring me for sakae at least once every 2 weeks. So on chu2, we had sushi for dinner with Daryil & hasnie. Ordered pizza for granny, waited for Valerie to come with her cheerful Alaryce before Elson & co to come over to granny's place to gamble before supper at 302. Came across this crazy man obstructing the flow of traffic at the roundabout below my blk, so this very nosey boyf of mine went forward to ask what happened & even video-ed the scene down. Joke! So according to both parties, the taxi driver almost caused this man to meet with an accident (but did not collide at all) so the man want that reckless taxi driver to apologize (by standing right in front of his taxi, not letting the driver off) LOL! Well, I would say, both's at fault. The taxi uncle for driving recklessly and the man for obstructing the way when he was practically fine in one whole piece. Our crowd dispersed after 2 policemen came to settle this trivial matter. Hah, I know right, we're a bunch of kaypo singaporeans. It's in the blood :P

Woke up to a big crowd of relatives, brushed our teeths, washed up before we give our wishes & collect red packets. Next stop was to Peipei's (the boy's sis) place for steamboat. Then to tiger's place to gamble. Lady luck's on my side this year.. Striked 4d twice already since the first day of CNY till now. Hehe.

Chu4, Mahjonged as usual before going over to the boy's place to put up the new photo frame that crystal gave to me :D Prayers at Loyang with Joanna, Elson, Youngersis, Raynard and ma'boy. Changi for nasi lemak before home.

Chu5, which is also Valentines' day. The boy went to collect car from Ved before fetching me. He suggested East coast for seafood but my eyes ruined my mood & all, so I suggested Jurong point for a simple dinner will do. Dined at New york New york & I can truthfully tell you, THE FOOD THERE SUCKS BIG TIME! Got our old rings replaced, home aftermath.

Chu8, as the days passes, it gets more & more boring.. Mahjong as usual, while the boy sleeps, I went to give prayers to "tai sui" helped the boy pray as well, thankful I got grace & eewin as companion if not I'd be so lost its my first time praying for myself, usually granny does everything. I think it's time to do/learn to do things myself instead of relying on my family members eh? Pastamania with the boy for dinner before heading for a short singing//drinking session @ Csc. Coincidentally bumped into tiger there as well. Not astonishing, singapore's a small world..

Finally, the boy packed my favourite carrot cake early in the morning on chu7. He have not been keeping his promises since chu4. Hehe, Had my fills before I nap the day away. & When I woke, I got a sudden crave for primadeli's nutella waffle. Literally rushed, cleaned up, changed, & left home without the boy hoping I manage to be on time to grab one. Packed Old Chang Kee for Oh'mama & co; Jolene's place before meeting the boy at Yewtee. I think he have plans for me, his friend so-called accidentally hinted me. Muahaha!

He brought me for a short shopping yesterday. Didn't really enjoyed myself because the boy was rushing me home, thanks to the motherfucking weather. 216 for dinner with Elson, youngersis, raynard and the boy. Heineken @ home before we turn in. Can't believe, time flies by so quickly I actually misused my holidays by sleeping & slacking 'em away :( So used to sleeping side by side I can't imagine how I sleep tonight. Grrrrrrrrr!

Pictures below taken over the weekends & hols. Not in sequence. Lazy & y'all know, my eye hurts from straining too much..

Got my hair curled permanently. TADAH

It's really a coincidence bumped.
Same appointment @ the same hair salon,
and so we had sakae feast together too.

So not used to it.
It takes 15 mins more than usual to dry my hair. Aww!


That day @ Lanying's birthday chalet.

Best wishes & good health..

With Stephanie.
