As the holiday season approaches, the craving for a getaway grows stronger...

i was blog surfing AGAIN and it's really just a few blogs I usually dive into. 

again, some people would brag about their short getaway with their partner. 

i'm not sure, but it seems like these days, it IS okay for unmarried couples to go on holidays & stay together. 

over dinner recently, i was discussing about the idea of cohabitation and marriage with a couple of girlfriends. they weren't surprise that i was never for the idea of the former and was slightly uncomfortable that they were preparing for that. 

again Uncle Sam did tell me that his colleague stays over at his girlfriend's house 5 days a week & to a certain extent, he is envious, but he knows where we stand in this matter. 

These days, Chastity & Purity are dirty words such that people are singing to the tunes of Faith Hill & Tim McGraw - "Let's make love all night long until our strength is gone..."

To the young ones - it pays to wait and keep what's precious till the end. 

You know what i mean.

...Eager Beavers...

i'm always intrigued by human behaviours, attitudes and personalities. 

i can never stop sharing my observations. maybe i should consider studying socio-psychology..

i am usually scheduled for worship with this female. Let's just call her missy b.

as usual, she was doing her thang - jumping in to make some lame remarks everytime after S does something. To top it off, she screamed into the mic like an off-key punk rocker & it never fails to deafen me for that split second since my right ear was beside the monitor and my other was beside her...

have i ever mentioned i have violent tendencies?

yea, but anyway, i have to turn away from her and divert my line of vision to space and think "GOOD THOUGHTS" so my fist will not land in her face. 

basically, that's the end of story. 

but to reason that, i figured that she really needed A LOT of attention because she is naturally insecure. Of what? I dunnoe.. seeking acceptance maybe?

just days ago, i caught this taiwanese matchmaking programme which featured the process of guys girls getting to know one another and eventually choosing one whom they feel most connected to. 

Again, it never fails that there's always an eager beaver in the group. This time, another missy. 

she tried so hard so hard that it turned three guys off. And the one who didn't get her attention wanted her in the end. Duh!

now, this just sets me thinking, "Isn't it common sense for one to know the law of attraction? The more you run towards something, the faster the other repels from YOU!"

Sigh... sometimes people just need to be reined in.

time out

three days more to official time out at work, i feel nothing like that at this moment. 

with the server down since a week ago, there were so much work piling at my in tray and to do list...

i totally hate this feeling.

***

auditions started tonight for Easter production and well things ARE sorta looking good. 

like S. put it, we had 400% more than expected auditionees! *tsk*

2009 will be a year i probably would age the fastest, yet, with grace, wisdom & faith.

Two major productions, three smaller scale, One-Two church musicals, weekend getaways, dance *argh* I can't wait for it all to happen! 

When it does happen, i will definitely look back at the journey in awe and amazement to how my faith has strengthen.

11 months into my full time job, i'm amazed at the steps i've taken, the relationships i've built at work and every min of the day, I thank God i'm alive, kicking & whining! 

Much to my delight, I received an sms this afternoon from K. It was one that told me that my decision to stay on in my job was an obedient decision. 

Oh well... we all have our moments... 

Awesome!

to those who grew up playing super mario on nintendo black top set.

i did!

this is so awesome... have never seen an 11 string bass.



but i only have 1 fav bassist :)

Birthday Thanks!

Yep, this post is for all of you to made my day so beautiful.

Even the simple smses that say "Happy Birthday" meant alot.

and to those who went the extra mile to shower me with your love, I really appreciate it alot... and you know who you are.

Those were the... books

remember Joyce who came down from UK in June?

I received a parcel from her early last month and to much joy, it was her latest release!!!

Look at the beautifully illustrated book!

such wonderful creation for children these days. Boy, did it get me jealous.

Back in those days, we grew up with the ladybird series, majority of which are hand me downs and probably didn't cost that much.

Very plain, classic illustrations.

As we grew older, it became Enid Blyton series with only a few precious black and white illustrations on selected pages.

These days, kids get a varied choice of hardcover illustrated books that cost well over $20+ yet they prefer to get their hands on electronic handheld game sets to keep them entertained...

Oh well....
