| I'm back...for now |
Yes.. i am finally blogging again.
Wasnt able to write a single word but the past few months. Everytime I feel that I should blog, I cant bring myself to type a single word. But then, feeling the need to blog tonight, no idea why, perhaps its the final week of 2006.
Things seems to be moving really fast this year. Before I know it, I am out of school and joined the workforce, but strangely I do not feel 'grown up'. Life as an auditor is so structured that I feel as if I am back in school, starting out all over again. Is such a life good? Perhaps in some ways. The learning curve is steep but I like. Worklife balance? Pretty good at this moment, but lets see how I am faring in a couple of weeks time. There are days where I am sooo tired, I just want to fall sick, injure myself so that I can call in sick. Gone are the days that I can choose not to go school, simply cause 'I dont feel like it' . However, at this very moment, I do enjoy my job.
My trip was great just that I have a missing parcel!!! stupid USPS... arrgh.. my Coach bags are in there... dont ask me about it.. talking abt it makes me upset... anyone out there wanna get me a replacement bag. Ask me about the people I met, the food I ate, the places I went.. just not my missing parcel.
Singapore and the neighbouring countries are expriencing heavy downpours but strangely its not dampering my mood. I am not 1 of those to squeeze in the crowd during countdowns so unaffected by the rain. I think I am weird....I can stare at the rain and smile (provided I am not very wet and my shoes does feel squishy.
Hey why am i blogging at this time, time for bed! |

| Really eating 'French' fries |
Sorry for not updating! Its not always easy to get internet access, more importantly, good internet access! Its not only expensive, hard to find, and some of them really sux.
I am not in Montreal. This is a nice place, great culture etc but it doesnt really excite me. I am not even that keen to sightsee. But i think if one really lives here, and get to know the people, it will be very different. Okie, maybe if i understand French, it will be better. There's so much
Okie for those that are interested, I have been to the following places:
NYC ( i actually like this place, dont know why)
Boston (lovely place, lots to see, rich in culture, idiot-proof transport system but one has to be very patient)
Washington DC (boring!)
Acadia national park (beautiful place....I want to go back!)
Portland, Maine (en route to Acadia)
Quebec City (pretty! Lonely Planet says that one can easily get lost here 8times a day... they lied. Its not very hard)
Montreal (dont come on a weekend! everything either closes at 5pm or dont even open)
Met some really interesting people, really have nice people sharing the same bunk bed as me. Seen many things and learnt to appreciate Singapore. I do not know why but Westerners are amazed that i speak good English, in fact have a vocabulary better than some of them. Its the same for the Taiwanese, and Mainland Chinese I met, they are also amazed at my Mandarin. Err... do they realised that I have been using this 2 languages since i can talk. Singapore doesnt really have a language of our own, Singlish doesnt count! Oh well... at least 3 Americans commented that my english is very English.. they are not use to certain words i used, errr....
okies.. the weather is supposedly be good.. abt 20C during the day and 16C at nite.. but it is quite bloody chilling for a tropical person like me. But the sun makes everything better, just as long as Mr. Wind doesnt throw temper.
I am going off soon.. the lack of sleep and the sun is giving me a headache. I went to bed early but some stupid bunch of drunkard made so much noise, most of use couldnt sleep |

| In boston |
Been in Boston for about 5th day and I think that this is a wonderful place to be. Love the culture, history, buildings, etc etc but I realised that the public transport is rather inefficient, their escalators too. If I miss a bus, I have to wait almost 30mins for the next. Going to a house party later, Nuqin's collegue is leaving. I will also be meeting up with Ankur and his friend.
A little in a rush so cannot really type much. Promise to update soon.. Anyway I went whalewatching yesteday, so cool!!!!
The Boston library is very big n pretty... really pretty.. i can sit at the Courtyard all day. I will be heading to Washington on Sunday to meet up with Ziwei and her friend. |

| transiting at thai airway |
Alone with throngs of people around me.
The aircon is mild, suffocating.
Chatters, laughters, cries. Sounds or noise?
Here i am, typing away at Thai International airport while waiting for my transit. Dying and totally bored. I need air!!! Its soo warm that even the staffs are fanning themselves. I think that I sux with heat, even though I am from the little bright sunny island. I am temperate. Seriously wondering how am i to survive in the States as its experience a heatwave now.
Getting more excited about my trip but think the excitement is still pretty contained at this moment as I am too busy whinning. BUT i think that as I see the outline of the New York tomorrow... i will be yippee-ing away. Although i must admit that a part of me is a little hesitant and worried. Cannot help it... a gal alone in the Big Apple. But oh well... going to soak up the culture and atmosphere over there. Sadly I will only be in NYC only for 2 days before going to Boston but no fret... I will definitely be exploring more of NYC on my return trip. Strangely, I am most interested in NYC. Maybe its the hollywood movies and sitcoms influenced.
I am going off.... cannot sit here all day. Going to check out what is my boarding gate. Hopefully its out on the screen. It takes 4ever to display. Was staring at it for 30 mins earlier and there was only 1 new flight input. |

| its time... time to fly |
Yesterday I suddenly had the urge to blog, to write some thoughts i had. But i guess that fate decided that i shouldnt cause i couldnt log in!
Oh well...
Anyway, guess that time really flies. Since the last time I blogged, I have officially graduated, did a lot of other things. More importantly, it has finally come. Its time for me to leave for America. I have spent so long planning and arranging, and hopefully things turn out fine.
Will try to update my blog about my travels.
First stop: New York, New York!
Okie.. time to resume packing, as i still have to zip off to Mustafa later to get somethings that I am entrusted to buy. |

| spitefulness |
Yesterday Ru-Jin told me something disturbing about a very nice and wonderful person.
Mr J is a pious Christian, guy-next-door type, ever-ready to lend a helping hand. To him, his ex-gf was the prefect gal, someone who he still holds lots of respect for. However, recently, this ex-gf asked him out for dinner. Out of the blue.
When they met, the gal was told him 2 things:
1) I found a job (many years back, he made a comment that being a arts & social science undergrad, it will be difficult for her to find a job as its a very general degree)
2) she is attached now, do not contact her anymore.
Hey hello... she is the one that called him out for dinner.. they havent had contact all this while... what the Fuck!
She is so spiteful, makes me wonder if that comment is all that mattters to her about their relationship. Its so sad, was there even love in the first place? Perhaps. I am no one to judge as I do not know her personally nor was I present to witness their relationship but is that how one will treat someone that one once loved and cared for. I really dont know, will I ever be like that?
Mr J now is feeling confused and start having doubts about many things. There are other factors that add to him confused state but this ex's action is a VERY BIG factor. He is starting to doubt God, and that is something very unexpected of him ever. Really hope that he can get over this obstacle soon.
Do u ever nurse such a gudge? Will u ever do what that ex did? Perhaps I will someday, but cant think of something spiteful that people said in the past, something that I really want to prove wrong.
Back to the world cup - Holland u better score soon!!! i wanna win $ |
