Simply Rain.....

It feels like 7pm right now. Dark and pouring at the moment.

It has been like this every afternoon lately. Bright hot sunny morning followed by gloomy wet rainy afternoon.

Love that it rains. Love the gloomy weather, the cool wind, the fresh air, the smell and sound of the rain.

Love that Mother Nature does the jobs of watering the plants and washing my car for me. Love the blurry scenery created by rain. Everything feels more beautiful and cleaner in rain. Love the music it makes when touching my umbrella.

Love that it's ok to be lazy on rainy days. No need to feel guilty to have no plans, no motivation, no aims, no happiness.

Love the smoothing effect it gives. Love to listen to rain in my sleep. I hope it continues to rain til dawn.

I simply love rain....

Arrrrggghhh............

I'm in big shit. one gigantic one...

I only found out that I've been studying the wrong study materials today. After nearly 6 months of studying!?!?

My deadline to sit for the exam is end of this year. That's like 1 month and 6 days away including public holidays. That's definitely not enough time for me to re-study. Just look at the way I've been studying! CRAP!! Arrrgghhh... I'm such a goon!

I will have to shoot the birds in the exam liao :(

Pondering

Time flies. In less than 1.5 months, we will be greeting 2009! Oh my, where has time gone?

While i was driving last night, i thought to myself that in 20 years time, i will be at near-retiring age!

Will i still be lost in life like how i sometimes am?

Will I still be doing what I'm doing now?

Will my life become better or worse?

Will I still look slim? Will people still look at me and say 'are you a mode?' 'No? you should be one.'? [I always say i'm too fat to be one. Is that too modest of me? ;p]

Will I be going for cosmetic surgery to look 18?

Will I this? Will I that? Will I....? Will I....?

Too many questions. Too many demands. Too many uncertainties. Too many worries. Too many fears.

I think I think too much. I need a break.

My dream life

Everyone has his/her own idea of perfect life. Mine keeps changing. What.... I'm a girl. I'm entitled to be indecisive... ;p

At the moment, my kind of perfect life is....


Sipping a cup of dark chocolate on a big comfy sofa before a burning fire while watching the soft snow gently falling down from the sky. And a twinkling christmas tree in the other side of the room..*


* Inspired by the coldness and the xmas carols playing in my office :p

Kinda look a bit like this

What's your idea of perfect life?

Dental Experience

I finally visited a dentist last weekend. *proud*

I was gonna see one 2 years ago but.... Hmmm... procrastination is really a sickness! haha..

I dreaded seeing a dentist and kept making up excuses not to go. Tonnes of them. And some really didn't make sense... It's Jane's recent broken teeth incident that 'motivates' me to do it...

Actually, I've phobia about seeing a dentist. I remember about my dental experience back in primary school. Everytime someone came into the classroom, holding a green card in her hand, my nerves would be on the edge, hoping hard that my name wouldn't be called.

There is nothing wrong with dentist. I simply hate the sound of the drilling and depise the actual drilling even more! The pain is unlike the one u feel when u cut yourself with a knife. It's more like your nerve is being stabbed and pulled. Eeeesh, I get goosebumps just by thinking about it!

Of coz what Jane went thru is a million times worse than drilling. That's why I made myself see one before it's too late. I think i'd rather die if i had to go thru that!

I'm glad that to know that my teeth are all healthy except that I've been brushing my teeth the wrong way.

Yes, I only knew about it last weekend! After all these years?! It makes me wonder what other wrong things did our teachers plant in our brains!

Seeing Double

That night, H said to me 'you look like Jane like this'. We all laughed at him.

So bad of us I know. It just sounds funny as Jane and Jenn are identical twins. And we are 'supposed' to look similar if not identical. We've caused countless number of confusions to many. Once, we even tricked an ex-colleague into thinking that he had seen ghost. I can't forget the shock in his eyes haha...

Sometimes I get puzzled too..... when strangers smile or wave at me. Or even chat with me! I have to pretend that I've known them for ages. Well, just in case they are Jane's friends (or people i know of but just couldn't recall ;p). I don't wanna be called 'a snob'....

Friends who have known us long enough can tell us apart. They say we don't look alike AT ALL and we have difference voices. Really? Gosh, are we losing our uniqueness? Oh Nooooo....

Jane or Jenn?

Notice the shorter hair? Yup, finally have it chopped off.

My Birthday

It has been 12 months since my previous birthday AND the great thing is, I'm still ALIVE! *Celine Dion's I'm Alive playing in the background*

Hello 25, we meet again! :p

I received many birthday wishes and yummilicious cakes from good friends and family this year. Some are pretty unique like a taro/ yam ring. Ahahaha, guess I have established myself a reputation as a yam/taro lover.

Jane, I did try to save you some of the cakes but.... the bear ate them all......

11.11 - a pair of adorable twins were born - the reason to celebrate :)

This eating frenzy has gotta stop! I've already put on a couple pounds of birthday fat because of the non-stop celebrations. Oooo I know, Let me just close my eyes and wish.......



How clever am I?! I'm indeed the wise one..... ;p

Red Hair Fruits

Jane's favourite fruit is in season now.

Ang Mo (red hair in Hokkien) tan it is... The rambutan tree in my backyard is full of little red fruits which kinda make it look like a giant christmas tree with red glass ornaments. Very pretty.

Helped mum to pick the fruits the other day before fruit thieves get to them. This is what we get.





Jane! Please control yourself... This is your birthday gift from me! haha...

Happy Birthday to Jane, Siaw Whai and myself!

Wallpaper

It has been 2 months. My desktop is still looking like this........

I miss our family time!

Say... DURAINS!

It is the season for durians now.

Last night, we drove past lots of street stalls selling durians. Prices have come down. Last month, my mum bought a small durian for $18. It didn't even taste good! The whole thing ended up in the bin. Now, we see bargains everywhere. 3 for $10, 1 for $1...




Last Friday, my colleague came to my seat and whispered softly for me to go downstairs. Curious, I followed her instructions. Once i got downstairs, another colleague called out quietly from behind the building, waving for me to go over at the same time. Hmm.. What are they up to? I wondered.

There, behind the concrete poles surrounded by bushes, another colleague was squatting on the floor, with a knife in her hand and a durian in the other. Ahaha.. We are having durians half way through our work? COOL!

It was hilarious that all of us squatted on the floor (Imagine us looking like one of those mainland chinese ppl squatting on the floor in jackets that we often see in streets of China ;p), eating durians with our fingers and in our professinal work attire as if we were in the wet market! And we were doing it in a secret. The durians tasted amazingly good. I think the fear of being caught and us fighting for more had added extra tastiness to the durians...
