The making of saliva queen

exercising is no use at all

I been trying to swim at least once a week as a physical activity. Mostly it's just once haha. Although I have all the well intentions of swimming during the weekday, but so far it's been all talk and no action.

I shall start! (soon) Now that I have a new pair of hot pink plastic flats that I can wear to work and swimming. And I realised...hot pink looks nice on me. So I went on to buy a pair of hot pink heels. And then to complement the two pairs of new shoes, I bought a pink bag with anime graphics that looks kinda childish. But the design perks me up la!

So now that I am making an effort to exercise, the next step for me to do is to cut down on my food intake. Because Exercising abit + eat Eat EAT = Fatter

My appetite has become voracious recently..I am not eating food anymore, I am devouring them. And its steadily gaining momemtum. I'll give a hint, the happier i am, the more I eat.

SHIT.

inside your head

When does one start to write poetry?
Its when someone you love inspires you so much that feelings turn to poetry.
Right there, inside your head.
That's true love calling.

costume shop

Passed by this costume shop at lavender while with my colleages for my break. We went in to take a look as its still early, and i was already quite curious about what was inside as I passed by this shop a few times before.

Now i realised you can't judge a book by its cover. It seems just like a normal shop house in front, but its FREAKING HUGE on the inside!!! I was gasping at the rows and rows and rows*10 of costumes, hats, hairpieces etc.

Costumes there include gingerbread man(so cute!)and maid(kinky), and we saw a guy coming out of the changing room dressed as Harry Potter(ahahah) complete with specs and wig.

Me thinks it be fun to do a costume party somewhere in the future. :D

quiet office for this week

It's a quiet day at the office today. My whole department is now in china attending the TIME conference, so it's only me and my new colleage left(yipee!). They only be back on this friday hehe. Much as I want to say that I be slacking big-time, but I still have my own things to do.. :)

Kudos to the start of a great week!

The story of Happiness

Someone dear sent this to me. It speaks to me and strikes a cord within me. For happiness IS what we make out of it.

Once upon a time, there lived a kind hearted man.
After he died, he ascend into the heavens and became an angel.
After becoming an angel, he often comes down to earth and help those to attain happiness.

Once, he met a farmer who was sulking.
He told the angel that his bull just died and he couldn't plough the fields.

The angel gave the farmer a healthy bull.
The farmer was very happy and the angel could feel his happiness.

Another time, he met a young man who was despondent.
He told the angel that he was robbed of his money and couldn't travel to his hometown.
The angel gave him some money.
The young man was very happy and the angel could feel his happiness.

This time, the angel met a poet.
He was young, handsome and full of talent.
He was also rich.
His wife was pretty and gentle.
But he declared he wasn't happy.


The angel asked, "You aren't happy. How can I help you?"

The poet replied, "I have everything. But I lack only one thing. Can you give it to me?"

To which the angel happily said, "Sure. I can give you anything you desired."

The poet stared right into the angel's eyes, "I want happiness."

"All right," the angel nodded.
And the angel proceed to take away everything the poet possessed.

The angel took away the poet's talent, destroyed his looks, robbed his riches and killed his wife.
The angel then left for heaven.

A month later, the angel appeared in front of the poet.
The poet was lying on the ground, half dead, hungry and struggling for survival.

The angel then returned him everything he once possessed and left for heaven again.

Two weeks later, the angel paid a visit to the poet.
This time, the poet, together with his wife, thanked the angel profusely.
He finally found happiness.

~~Often, a person need to lose everything before he know how to cherish.
Actually, happiness is right in front of you.

Just what is happiness?
When you are hungry, a bowl of hot noodle in front of you is happiness.
When you are tired, a soft bed is happiness.
When you are crying, a gentle tissue is happiness.

Actually, happiness has no definition. Sometimes, small actions can touch your heart. Happiness or not, depends on how you look at it.

Trust

Something I wrote for a literature class when I was studying in poly. It's for some sort of self-expression if I remember...

Strewn on the ground
Pieces of shattered glass
I picked them up
piece by piece

Tried to glue them together
But why wouldn't they stay glued?
Why do they fall apart still?

I tried again and again
to mend those broken pieces
Slowly, slowly, it was done

I looked through the glass
and saw the cracks
The cracks would never go away

my new job

frens have ask me wat my new job is abt. frankly speaking, i am still reserving my judgement on it. i am trying to adapt the "its just a job" mentality and not hanging onto my idealistic view of the "perfect" job. i need money to survive, after all. and at least this job gives me a chance to have a normal life, which was wat i lacked last year. yup, tats abt it. so u see, i really dun have much expectations.

haven been updating for sometime...will start this wkend hopefully.

New Year Resolutions

happy new year everyone. haven't been updating my blog as i need some time off for self-reflection. just a quick one to update my new year resolutions. i dun have the habit of making them, but its always interesting to see how much further u end up away from it at the end of the year.

therefore, my resolutions:

1) to be more emotionally stable
2) to be more financially stable
3) take up more physical activity besides shopping
4) to worry less

this is just a brief outline, will touch up on it again. above all, i wish for normalcy.
