TALES BETWEEN TWO CITIES.
Home for the weekend.
I don't know if it is right to feel this way but home has gradually lose it's luster for me. Each time I set foot here, I feel more and more distant from this city, sometimes I don't even know whether the center of my heart has shifted. I no longer feel that I belong here. Engulfed by a sense of bewilderedness, for the first time, I could not feel more lost. I am homeless.
Hope this is just a passing phase.

Touched by Little Angels.
This wasn't a run- of- the mill weekend. My heart was touched and I hope I have touched some little hearts too. I definitely wish to concert more effort and time into these in future.
I love the uncensored and unfiltered emotions of a child. Where only truth and simplicity hold.
It was also in the company of someone whom I admired very much and have a profound impact in my life. In a very platonic sorta way.

VOILA!
It's about time I update! I have officially cross the half year mark of being in Singapore. Honestly, I am lovin' it! Well, there are certain grouses here and there, but ultimately I am enjoying myself here.
Well, people tend to complain about Singapore being boring. Well, my take, if you are a boring person, anywhere you go it will be boring. Having said that, I must admit that I am rather blessed that I meet companions who share the same interest as me. I might be missing a concert buddy though. I still very much a chick who likes her rock bands but far less crazy than back in the days. I have mellow down alot over the years. Getting old, yes! As much as I hate to admit it.
I went to Europe ( Paris, Amsterdam, Brussel, London) with my girlfriends in June. We went to the Hardrock Calling festival to catch Kaisef Chief and The Killers. I absolute love it. Probably the highlight of the trip. I felt so carefree that day and just being high on life. Good music + good friends + booze. What more can you ask for in life, really?
The 'Everyday I love you less and less....' band.
You guys rock my life! :)
You have my back!
Hard Rock-ers!
Glad to have you guys to lift me up.
Just being myself - silly!
Did I mention that we tried spacecakes and shrooms in Amsterdam. Honestly, it did nothing for me. Well, except for Shrooms, I had a slight hallucination effect, the images of castles, dungeons and wizards kept playing at the back of my life. At some point, you are very aware of the surroundings. The ticking of the clock, the dripping of the waters. It's quite eerie. When you take drugs, it's as it you are entering into another world. I daren't imagine the life of a druggists. Have they been so unhappy with their real life that they have to resort to drugs to escape reality? Heard the news of Amy Winehouse's passing. May she finally found her peace. RIP.
To be absolute honest, Europe trip was kind of a let down in terms of sightseeing. Maybe, I have always been very fascinated with European history. I did love to explore the rich history and culture of the places I visited which we did not, due mainly to time constraint. I fell in love with France. It's such a pretty place although the people there are absolute snobs. They could use some manners. So much for priding themselves for being cultured. One day I will return to France, probably into other part of France, esp the South. It's so idylic and tranquil. When I go for holiday, I like to be utterly carefree. I like to eat by the park and have drinks by the beaches. I dont really fancy going into nice restaurants because there is this feeling of restrictions, where you have to watch your etiquettes. When I am on holiday, I like to let my hair down and just be freeeee like a bird. Pardon me. For the better part of the year, I am holed up in a concrete jungle. Can't blame a girl for wanting the grass, the beach and the sky when she is on a holiday! ;)
My girlfriends on crack. <3
  
Happiness redefined. After a few drinks with the 'Smiling e' at where the beer was originally brewed.
Another of my momumental moment in Paris. If you catch the pun,yes, at Eifel Towel! Glad we decided to go up and be on top of the world. Best feelings on earth, to be so high up!
Being cheap Asians, we imposed as students to get cheaper entrance ticket. Haha. With our golden tickets.
Us having our little picnic at the garden directly facing the best view in Paris........
Life is goooood.... *burp*
The pictures that I posted are moments where I truly felt happy just being alive. How cheesy ( I was in France, hey! The home of cheese! hahahhaaa)
Thank you to all my girlfriends. Who needs shrooms when I have all of you in my life. Regardsless of the good times and bad, we shall stick to each other. That's what friends are for. Let your bigger heart rules. :)
When we have too much of each other, just.......
I love all of you. xoxo.
And I look forward to my trip to Bankok in 2 weeks time with another two of my favourite girls! *wink*

| LIGHT UP!
Again, I allowed myself to be bogged down by pessism. Disappointed. Where was that girl who brims with joie-de-vivre? Instead of channelling so much energy whining and bitching, why not focus on doing my best here and fight the ststem.As much as I dislike my current work place, I believe in CHANGE. Therefore, I given a prep talk to myself, mentally of course (not quite mental yet), I shall adopt my usual positivity and believe that better days will come. Because there is always a rainbow after the storm. :) Instead of wallowing in self -pity, as my bestfriend suggest, I should try to get the best out from the company. Which with no qualm, I said, the Clubhouse and the Friday cheap shots. It's Shooters Night! 12 shots going for SGD $26.    
With my new-found girlies,the Vernz (not sister)! For me girlfriends are totally essential. I have quite a handful of guy friends here, but honestly, they are no substitute to girlfriends, which I was sorely lacking in Singapore. Well, it's easy to find friends who are girls, but not so easy to find fun-loving girls.Glad I found them. *grins* 
Finally, my first toilet shots in Singapore. See what I mean, guys friends can never be the same as girlfriends. 
Another night out. I am so 'properous' looking. T.T I shall go fun a run now. Toodles.

| BOO-SHIT. I have always tend to be rather emphatic towards one's situation. Therefore, generally, I tend to be rather forgiving and bear no grudges towards the misdeeds towards me. At time, I may even go the extend of defending and justifying a person's actions even though he/she is wrong. For me, a person has come from somewhere. I believe there is goodness in everyone. Therefore, behind every actions, there must be a reason for a person to behave or react the way he/she does.However at times, I feel so damm bloody tired. Tired of being caught in between. Sick of being the one sucking it all up. Enough is enough. I don't want to give in anymore. I hate bad manners and bad attitude and I don't have to take it if I dont want to. Not today.I know this mood will probably pass like in an hour time and I will very likely forgive it all the same. Just needed to rant it out. Tomorrow is going to be a brand spanking new day for me. I am going to work hard and devote much more time and energy into my work. I need to be more focus and make less careless mistakes! I always need to remind myself to keep in align with my ultimate goals. There is a reason I came to Singapore. I want to unclutter myself and rebuild my life piece by piece again. I want to be the best I can be. This is my transition. 
Part of my family during my first month in Singapore. We were going out despatching documents to our client's Audit Committees late at night.* gasp* It's not a myth!We are cheap labour. T.T | | |
