My client says that Wala on Sundays is nice. So here we are, at Wala Wala on a Sunday night. Omg EIC is playing today! Oh wait, its Jack and Rai so its accoustic. They sound so different wo the band. Nowadays they seem a little distant compared to them with them at timbre. Mellowed too. Perhaps they are trying to appeal to an older audience. What older audience, people at wala wala can be teeny boppers these days! Nevetheless, here we are with a bottle of Framingham Riesling. I love love love this riesling. So sweet that the other way to derive this kinda sweetness would be from Ice Wine already. Dag didnt know what to drink so introduced him my favourite drink. The daiquiri. My favourite is Strawberry. The arrival of dear Michael means its time for some "serious drinking." After Riesling, we had chardonnay but it aint as good. And the kroeneberg didnt make it better. Seeing stars already and I accidentally spilled wine from a glass. I was a little stunned at the impact and my folly. My drinking skills has gone down the dumps. Didnt recall much of the events thereafter too. Meeting the guys gave a sense of dejavu. When I was 21, we were just trainees in our polo tees sweeping up dried leaves, lazing in our bunk beds takking. Playing vollleyball. I was all so innocent, blushing when there was a song being dedicated to me over the resident dj at the mass. And another time when one of the senior officers approached me at the canteen. Yeah we had sneaked into the canteen to buy food cos dear Jess was sick of mass food. I wonder if we would ever have the chance to meet had I not been there. How would life have changed had we met at a different place Would we have stopped to smile or say hi to each other?

Marriage is the graveyard of love?

People say marriage is the graveyard of Love. This is because after we get married, the love, passion and desire for each other will slowly dissipate into thin air. Perhaps it could trigger from living together and learning about each other's way of life. Leaving things lying around, not taking out the laundry, hogging the television, not flushing the toilet or not putting the toilet seat down. The last one gets to me the most, haha! I remember reading a message that my friend posted in FB. That only bastards leave the toilet seats down while urinating so as to save the trouble of flipping it up and down. That shocked me a little. I do not think of men in generally as bastards or anywhere close even if they were to do such a thing. But it does annoy me knowing that you are co-existing with someone female and peeing on the toilet seat. A man should have some form of chivalry by putting the seat down. I don't expect the man to open the car door on my side if i want to get out of his car - I am not so demanding la! Though once, a guy whom i dated did that. It made me smile. But i'm not all flattered and flying to the sky and back ok? Men who pays for dates do get my votes. This i reiterate to my single gfs all the time haha. But take note, pls do not expect them to always bring you to fanciful restaurants. Be considerate! Marriage is the graveyard of love. I do not subscribe to that. In fact, i think having a baby is the graveyard of love/marriage. Don't get me wrong. I think babies are the biggest blessing from God. Having a baby is a milestone for me - I am someone who usually cant be bothered to play with other people's children. I mean, i do not flutter to newborns saying: "oh! So cute!" unless they are really blessed with good looks nor do i know the baby lingo or at least do the actions that people do. Touching the chins of newborns and go "tsk tsk tsk". It just change my perception of marriage. Nowadays, i'm just contented to have a peaceful marriage and maintain my blood pressure level. The baby is a gift, but sometimes i can't help but wonder how it had destroyed my marriage. But well, we all learn. Destroy is a strong word, perhaps jeopardise? Lol. Maybe it's meant for us to learn to cope and grow together. Therefore, i urge couples to date for a bit before deciding if you are gonna get married. Perhaps by the 5th year of the relationship, you should get married and bring the relationship to a higher level. If not things will prolly get mundane. But if you are thinking of having a baby, then perhaps you should enjoy at least a year or two of marraige before having one. Unless you, as a woman are pressed for time - getting old very quickly and childbirth would prove dangerous by then. If not, pls enjoy the marriage, at least for now!

It's raining

Weather is good but the mind is not. Face cleansed by the tears gone by

*hugs*

Tonight I'm thinking of Mr Stern face and hugging him and it put a smile on my face.

Nothing lustful, just felt like a hug and I got one. Just thinking of it.

Oops, am I in trouble?

At night my thoughts run wild

Though united, we are apart
Though together, we are separate
Though present, I always think of the past
Though family, we look like strangers
Though near, we seemed so far.

Are you ready for marriage?

I should have seen this before I got married.

What $5 can do to you

Am at West Coast Plaza chilling at a cafe when i remembered that I have a $5 Gong Cha voucher to redeem. I entered Gong Cha. The lady with the cap and ponytail asked to take my order. I handover the $5 voucher and made my order. I did that as usually service staff expects you to give the voucher first before taking the order in case they need to key in or something. I asked the staff how much i needed to top up. She then replied loudly: "GIVE ME FIFTY CENTS". Her colleague laughed. She asked: Ni Zai Siao She Me? Then her colleague said" Yin Wei Ni Suo Give Me Fifty Cents!" She then grumbled something inaudible. I thought that it was her way of talking. After she was done with the cashier, she removed the receipt with a quick swipe and held the receipt in her hand and tilted her head and stared at me. I had to bend over the counter just to get the receipt from her. Then as i was waiting for my drink to be ready, her colleague said that was the 3rd coupon redeemed for the day, if not.. (she stopped upon seeing that I was looking at them). They then laughed amongst themselves. After I was home and resting, I realised that they were actually being very rude. What is $5 when you are just an employee paid by the hour with no commission to speak of? Do you see me as a cheapskate so you are acting that way? It's not as if you were the owner and you worry that you were making a loss right? I felt that I was bullied without even knowing.. so shortchanged! Next time I shall speak out if i realised that I was treated rudely/unfairly!
