Nowadays i only blog when i feel a strong urge to blog. Whoo hoo...

2 days of rest every week neva seem to be enough for mi. There are juz too many things to do!
Lye...

finish reading twilight (i can slowly read and imagine edward cullen n bella's faces)
do up my photo album
start on my new books (thank you for loving mi by cecelia ahern and Change of Heart by Jodi Picoult)
try out new recipes for comfort food
revamp my bedroom

Nope, reading is not my new hobby. It's juz kinda nice to escape into another world. Hehe... Cny was fairly enjoyable, with e rounds of mahjong (and playing cheat) sessions upping e festive mood.

Recently, i concluded dat work is taking up too much of my time.When i was still schooling, i would neva have thought dat i would work 10 hours a day. =(

And that if i suddenly passed on, there will be so much regrets bcos i wan to learn... salsa and violin.

I have developed my linguistic abilities by learning a 3rd language. But wad abt musical and artistic side? Hmm... Even if i'm not good at it, i still wanna learn it. Juz for e fun of it!!! =)

I will definitely pick up ballroom dancing at some point of my life, nevermind my age. But i need to find a husband first. Hee!

Happy New Year

2009-01-03T19:41:00.001-08:00

It is e 3rd day into e year 2009...

Happy New Year everyone!!!

Hee... i love my new organiser n haf begun to use it. Instead of new year resolutions, i came up wif lists of "what i should do daily" and "what i should do weekly".

I think it is a better way to keep my goals in check and kick away bad habits. =)

The past year was fairly happening. I flipped thru my previous organiser and realised...

e pages for e first half of e yr are all study schedules.
e pages for e 2nd half are much happier
one of e happiest day was when i scored an interview wif btmu.

Maybe these confirm e fact dat i prefer working to studying.

However, i also wan to avoid (at all cost) becoming a grumpy, touchy, self-isolating idiot who is drained out by work and sleep thru e weekends.

I wan to live life to e fullest. Oh yeah!!!!
I wan to take 2 holidays a year, take lots of photos n reminisce over e trip.
But to begin with... i muz first make my weekends well-spent.
(why muz people worry abt mondays when sundays are not yet over?!)

So peeps, if i stop blogging for very long, someone please poke mi to wake up and remind mi to play, ok?

On another note, my family is hyped up over linny's wedding on 27th feb. Hoho...

But i am kinda disappointed wif myself dat i didn't manage to co-ordinate e clothes we are going to wear on e big day. =(

I got my own gown, zimmy got her own gown, mum got her own gown...
but all different styles one leh! *signs*

The theme, "dazzling pink" was decided by Linny e bride. She wans pink elements, and diamonds. Haha...

My idea of co-ordinated is definitely not pink dresses. (no creativity leh) But maybe...
i wears e black tube dress wif fuchsia pink sash,
Zimmy wears a pink halter wif black trimmings
mum wears a elegant off-shoulder gown.

At least all western style (not one in gown, e other in oriental chongsum, u get e idea?)
Actually, i went to check out e prices of customized dresses, but they are all priced at $500>
E good thing is we still haf some time n dat dad's attire is still undecided. Hee...

Hi all,

i need some ideas for my Dinner & Dance. The theme is Uniforms (as in profession type).
Please give mi some ideas?

i really wan to participate. Hee! Here are some of my ideas:

Emirate air stewardess (e hat is so quirky!)
nurse (zimmy's)
police woman (wif aviator shades, hot shorts, a pistol?)

My sister asked mi to don a kfc uniform, complete wif an oily smell. HAHA!

Hmm... It's quite challenging bcos i wan to be funny and spastic, not kinky. It's not lye Halloween, where i dunno most of e people. The thing is... i still need to go back to work the following week! I dun wan people in e company to remember or refer mi as "oh... chloe lor, e nurse on D&D". And it is also my first time attending such event, so i dun really know how on the people are.

I'm not after e "best-dressed" award, but i still feel lye going wif e theme leh...

1o years later? I dun tink so. =)

Whoa... i haven update my blog for so long already!

Life has been rather peaceful. Haha... I have more or less settled into my work. =)
But there's still alot of things to learn. Whoo... gambatte!

Even though everyday passes by in a flash, i am still sane. Hahaha... I love the buzz of working in a bank.

N i can understand why people pick up smoking to release stress (no, i don't.)
...go for rounds of drinks to unwind after work.

N sadly sadly sadly, my niu liang totally sucks!
I became a merlion after drinking just one pint of beer.
Awww...

2008-10-04T22:16:00.000-07:00

yes, this is my ham jin(1) hua(2) huo(2) tui(3)
a result of bladding gone wrong!

Big splash @ east coast is indeed a skaters' nightmare.
All i wanted was a drink from seven-elevens.
Hahaha...
But i couldn't get pass e slope connecting e main park to big splash.
I ended up having a dramatic-but-slow-backward slide, wif my hands tightly securing to a metal stand for support. =(
(juz imagine mi in a super-man posture lying on a floor)

This bruise is as large and as black as a century egg. O_o
and it resulted from e impact of e fall, pressing against a locker key resting in my side pocket.

Ouchhhhh...

On a side note, i accompanied Linny for her wedding gown fitting.
Oh man... she's a happy bride! =)
seeing my own sister try on white wedding gowns juz bring tears to my eyes.

Heh... so emo.
