Starry Cove

dunno y ( or mayb i know y ) i am s sian these days. realised there is no one to tok aspirations to or I have been too bury myselfnd quiet these times. Wan to try more daring things but no one there. like frens all or mayb w parents too much then to communicate i hv to resontes at there level. Its all abt managing pplp ard me but I am sick of managing. why is it i have the silent scream but pplp ard me do not wan to hear me out? yet some pplp come near me cos they jus wan to discover st interesting abt me , like thieves , not sharing . And I am not even sure if those that claims to be frens with me are really frens cos they claim they noe me but actually they dun. cos i am constantly developing , growing changing but they dunlike the growth and they keep saying this growth is good enough for me an trying to define me, so when I am with them I feel painful cos this is not who I am ..so ended up ding lots of thing via duty andno wih a geninue dese to help or do anything. perphas some unscruplous pplp - those ard me - can see my paid and desire for human contact or confidence and so they bank on that and exploit , keeping me under their uses , control - see the word -keeping under control rather than respect as a fren. or praise so backt family who I need to manage and yet i mus slow my brain frequency so I can see what they are doing. I no longer enjoy myself. I guess what u throw out the universe the universe has certain outcome for you. Even when I am quiet and do not offend pplp - there will be people who will TAKE ADV and try to push and increase and see wat they can do . cos its not difficult for sth to do bad things all it need to do is be inmoral ,I have to be careful with people and be assertive and confident and make my stand I can still be progressive but I will be assertive. Even being inconident is a sin to yourself. why shld I place so much power in the hads r other people, theirbehavior and their pre concepions of you ?

sun.. went church spent the evening sleping away b4 waking up to buy a pack of ruffles , ruffles craving acting up agn.. and now here i am blogging.

Ydya went to the cathay to watch moive - i booked forbidden kingdom but ws told thaty I had booked this at orchard cineleisure .sigh.. ended up watching definately maybe ..not particularly interesting, knew that the guy will end up w april but jus dun understand hw a guy think, those he likes most , he will not say. I was so afraid for april , found myself whispherng to her in my heart - not to give ur heart ..u will hurt real bad,i guess it is kind of reflective of myself and my experience. when the guy tod her that he kept her book she's been finding for so many yrs cos its the only conection has w her it was touching and yet stupid cos how can u hurt her so much cos the book is so impt to her. Hand he jus retrieving it fro on old box together w other things, why why why why ...stupid man stupid

hearing and listening to inspirational talk are nothing if u dun act em out . I shall do all things thru Christ who strengthens me. philippian 4:21. the magic words are "do " and "strengthen". I have to do first then He can strengthen me.

made a promise to myself that I will start planning my wkend and sat on wed and will be on the lookout for interesting and new things, if there is one i will create and organise one and it will be a range of activities and get pplp together and do things pplp can do together. and also shelf and place my studying , skill honing together with this exciting , busy and yet serious schedule of mine. COnstant reiewing and assessment is normal and I must be willing to take new fresh look at myself. I mus grw by leaps and bounds internally as a person. I mus be a person of substance. and i will be interesting and real

nxt sat maybe will go pulau ubin/bintan or organise kelong fishing trip recm by ..my collg, think dad will love fishing ..k

lookin forward to my new and exciting life
My enery level will b awesomely high and my wits and words will be razor witty srap and funn as said " being funny is a v serious business"

and sun tml I am going to churh

I must learn to get my way w/o being bitchy , getting my way using wittiness , sincerity and cleverness and mst impt charm and sincerity

I just washed my washing and hung them up in the kitchen to dry. Tried to cook lunch/dinner but te microwave ended up drying up my 2 chicken wings. Must rem not to cook chickenwing for more then 6 mins. then dad has to come back to kitchen to cook dinner and do deep frying - the clothes are going to absorb the aroma of the food agn!!! I hae clothes with food smell!! and i din successfully get my lunch cos there is nothing in the fridge to cook and i ended up eating ( which i shouldnt eat) lots of prawns rolls left over from CNY. Now I am in the living room and the radio is blasting away with the stupiddddddd chinese love songs from the 70s. I hate them. and earlier on i wanted to go jogging but it was pouring rain. And i missed getting stuffs which i promised fr my mum. PISSED!!

THe header sounds depressing ain it? But been having this irritating and perpetual cough that tickles" my throat at inappropriate time and make me cough incessantly. Been downing cough syrup again.

Sat went back to work to only confirm that the new &*(*(is a crazy person.

Anyways dun feel like staying at home but I am too sick and tired to go anywhere..

Checked my bank account and realised I din save that much..;(
Went through my studies and managed to finish one chapter ;)

Wanted to learn driving but need to spend money and need to commit time.

Wanna renovate the house a bit - need to spend money again..

wanna save up..

Tired..

Maybe I will go jogging later..I think I should learn to be active and build up my health

This is a page from the TRENDS magazine - southeast asia home and apartments volume 23 issue..
Look at the view outside the bedroom..wow!

Went chinatown on sat and went loitering there and went into one of those beds shop.. bought some stones with some strings, suede tied strings and made sme necklae. Not very special and spectacular but at least it made me feel accomplished , useful..
I focused on buying those stones ..natural one , was tempted to buy some man made one but they are ex..abt 5 pr stone so din buy..







This was made with a teeth like pendent , like the pendent's baby blue color and I bought a matching color string .. was thinking of gifting it to my brother but I doubt he will wear anythin with baby blue





Another necklace made by me. The stone is aventurite..previously my mum had bought the silver holes cover(is tht wat u call it?) and I just used it and attached this pendent to an old necklace string previously bought ..




bought 2 of these shells (buy one get on free promotions) a I was vacillating between a black or brown string and chose brown I think it has a very complete and balanced theme. The brown suede string and the shell look so harmonious together! I decided to gift this to my friend whose bdae is in the later part of this feb ;) besides I think she will carry this color well as I see many of her clothes colors are brown and neutral and red?









The stone is colored quartz.a very common mineral stone..I attached 2 transparent white crystal at the bottem. I wanted my mum to help sell this necklace to those stone and gems fanatics she knew but she commented that my necklace looks very ordinary..well , maybe..


I also bought a rose quartz and an amethyst but I have not use them yet Its funny i have to plan /fate for all those necklace I have made..if I dun have a plan for any stones I will not make them. Its weird..has Practicality influenced my creativity ? And I prided myself being a free and daring advocate for non utilitarian art..and my art have become conformistic.. seldom avant garde ..but all the while I have been trying to get pplp to like and worship my art..I even draw hoping pple will like my art.. maybe this is a telling sign of how conscieous I am of how others thought of me, no longer am I going to unconscieously, subtly , give others the power of (u know) their thots of me and how if they like me..

Just walk out of chinatown mrt station and turn to the direction of lots of shop houses, keep walking straight , dun cross the road, go to hdb and then see china square and cross st , then Yan's palace. THey have dim sum until 2 pm.price is reasonable. My frens commented that the cha shao is excellent. I personally LOVE the fried ball with lychee and mango inside.(what is the formal name called?) Its so fragrant and tastes heavenly! The decor of the restaurant , albeit a bit "uncle and aunty" its still tastefully and elegantly designed.. better tha hong xing and zing fu ying cha..;)

Geninue True love doesnt need to hurt so much.

I know I have intensity .. I need to reduce my intensity by ten ,10 xs..I need to channel it to the correct way. otherwise I will be scaring people off with my man like behaviour

wierd that I am doing a 2007 look back when we are half way into the first month of 2008. Anyway 2007 is a great year. One that I would never forget and with 2007 (been through the highs and euphoria of a wonderful job switch , took my initative and knew one of the greated person who guided me out of my darkest time, attend the most weddings- to date , and fallen in love (been protecting my heart carefully all these years) with someone who touched my soul but it wasnt reciprocal and it hurts -God it hurts damn bad and this opens up old wounds that forced me to look at myself and those issues again and fresh directions in life.) , thankful that I am working with the brightest and wonderful people in m work. i will mark the start of mny mor wonderful years to come.

I will be interesting. But this time around .. Geninuely
I have grown . Growing is painful when you realised you have to do it ad you have been hiding from it. Growing is wonderful too. Like I say ..

I will be interesting. But this time around .. Geninuely

I used to think- my inspirations are batteries to my soul, my energy to life, yet my emotions and obilgations pulls me to the ground , makes me fall and bleed , even in love and that makes me human and reminds me to connect to the ones around me. It reminds me that I am human and I should care. Can I fly with caring? I think I can, I think and believe I will grow and I will stop hurting the people around me. Can I fly with reality? I think I can.. I will make my dreams a reality, no matter how painful, how difficult. I will inspire people , make dreams come true and perserve and I will relish and enjoy every bit and taste in life, the taste , the touches, the smiles and jokes of other people, the smell , the temperature , their chemistry and their dreams..and I will realise that I AM there with them and I am not alone..


I will be human and participate in life too but this time I have awaken , I have choices and I am conscious..

I will grow and stretch myself in all ways ,geninuely learning , being humble? geninuely willing to find out about other people and learning

from now on..i am not going to grieve, yes I have been grieving for a long time. And I thought that is sadness. A normal person will be sad some time, depress for sometime and perphas grieve only once a life time for a short period of time. I thought I was being upset, no , I was grieving. From now on, I will minus by a factor of 20 the level of sadness I will have so that when I am sad I am just sad like a normal person. I will align my emotional scale to be the same as other people.

Like wht John says,from now he is going to do only those things he had not done before.

Everyday , I m going to do things or one thing) that I do not like or feel like doing. I will do the opposite and do the contra. ;)
