只是这段时间里 尤其在夜里 还是会想起难忘的事情
我想我的思念是一种病 久久不能痊愈

Nobody can blame me if I would have thought that I was a piece of meat today. My fishtank of an office was freezing cold..given the centralised aircon which thermostat cannot be adjusted, so it was a constant 19 deg today,amplified by the drizzling cold rain which prob helped the temperature to drop by at least 3-5 deg more. God. I have half a mind to just roll over and claim that
(i) I'm dying from hyperthemia unless they let me stop typing the JD so that I can put my hands into the pockets to keep my fingers warm.
(ii) my animal instincts are calling me to go into winter-hibernating mode
:/
Anyway, the room was still cold one hr after the aircon stop blowing at the stipulated 7pm. Finished up by 8.30 and thought that it's another night of instant noodle (most likely gg to be thai ducky flavour if I go by eliminiation of the other flavours) when I saw JT at the lobby waiting with P who was waiting for P's hubby to be done with the gym. JT jio-ed me for dinner, and thinking that any sinful hawker food is better than synthetic flavours...the choice was obvious :p
Dinner was a simple affair at one of the coffeeship TPY. But it was great fun crapping with JT (the most 三八 30 something man I have ever met!) even when the rest if I dont really know them as well, and P is my colleague, but I havent 酸ple for so long already!!!! JT is the king of 酸-er..so it was good sparring with him and bring out my rusty skills...hiakhiakhiak..
And when I read my horoscope today :
"Follow your whims today -- and let spontaneity guide your travel plans. If you don't have any trips planned for the near future, then make some! Your wanderlust deserves to be let out to play, and it doesn't require major international travel. A short little day trip could be all it takes to refresh your outlook. Any kind of change in scene will go a long way toward rejuvenating your energy level. Grab a friend or your sweetie and go on this adventure together"
I dont know if a detour for dinner fits, but I felt kinda rejuvenated somewhat. Maybe because my fingers are starting to thaw after leaving the freezer.

Yes, incoherent blog... I know. But my brain only thawed after the hot shower just now you see.

Be with Me
Woohoo~ running 7 km after not running for so long. Not an easy feat. I think my legs agree cos they are protesting now. Vehemently. (you two will thank me when you slim down ok??). I think I am high on endorphine while my body is crashing like it got hit by a ten tonner :s
I thought a few days back I saw a glimpse of a trailer that says that the channel is gonna show "Be with Me". Searched the mediacorp website. Couldn't find anything. Damn. Have I been seeing things?!
Anyway, Be with Me was was a really, really, really great show! A show with so few words spoken, yet touch you to the core. You can sense the desperation, the yearning, the lost, the strength..flowing through their actions, so much unspoken, so much said. Make you so much want to reach out to the person next to you,and say "Be with me..(add in your own mushy stuff)"
Words are so redundant some times. Human thoughts occur in patterns (think of an ice-cream - you wouldn't be thinking of the word ICE CREAM right??). Words were invented to encode patterns in order to pass on to other people. How much of the pattern remain intact is so vulnerable. 答非所问。口不对心。
Go watch the show if it is really showing on tv (hope that its not my eyes playing trick on me!)
Actions speak so much more than words. Hands down.

Working till the cows come home
What struck me the hardest when I opened the papers today
Retirement age gonna go up. Gahmen gonna impose later draw-down age.
oh no...I am gonna become a old granny and still fight with the agressive-canivorious-young twenties for performance gradings
It was all over the news. Older workers once hit retirement, company offers re-employment....but at a lower age.
There goes my dream of travelling and enjoying my GOLDEN YEARS
CPF is never enough to cover for our retirement. It was repeated over and over again.
There goes my hope of even having a decent living when I am not of productive years?
University Graduates are getting more commonplace, some more with the 4th university coming up. What is really gonna make the differentiation is if you get a first class honours vs the normal passes.
Are MBAs even valuable nowadays??
It's Monday Blues + Reality Bashing on the Head.

Hot & Short Weekend
What a short weekend!!!
Sat
Wakeup
Read papers while eating breakfast
Pack Room
Went through some of dad's account
Watch TV while eating lunch
Watch TV while on couch
TV watched me while I snoozed
Rushed to pack
Rushed out of the house for game
And realised that I was early. Noticed that they gonna have the International Challenge in Oct (Aussie will be good to watch).
And dreading playing in the hot sun
Played against Crescentians, umpired by two umpires (who I suspect are quite blind - that is shall be a total blog entry by itself).
Had dinner at Lock Rd (with a lot of 麦片from麦片虾 :D)
Went home and had horrible headache from too much sun.
Sun
Wakeup (with eyebags+dark eye circles)
Read papers while eating breakfast
Packed bag for game later
Watched TV while eating lunch
Rushed out of the house after finishing one episode of CSI-NY
Dreading playing on the even-hotter pitch
Played against Jansenites with umpires with better eye-sights.
Watched a lil bit of the SRC SCC match (damn...gg to play them back to back next weekend.Weekend doesn't sound enjoyable recently)
Had dinner at Raffles City
Went home and had horrible headache from too much sun + tight hamstring + suspected pulled shoulder blade
And with a full week ahead plus a not so looked-forward weekend.
Life is sweet......but I need more weekends in my life..

The Secret
Am watching a dvd that my aunt lent. At first i was sceptial, cos the title of the dvd was "The Secret".
I was like..hmmm....another movtivational dvd..especially when the starting of the dvd went with 5 mins of repeating "The secret..the secret..discover the secret..looking for the answers to th secret.."
-.-"
But when the content started, I was quite blown away by the concept. It talks about how outcomes are really attracted to whatever your thoughts are, according to the laws of attraction. Hold tight on to the positive thoughts of what you want, visualise the feeling of having it, and the universe will work its mysterious way of packaging what you want, to you.
It's like the world is the genie, and whenever you put a request out there, the world will respond "your wish is my command". Another one that I like is that you got to bring yourself up to fullness, in order to overflow for others.
Focus on what you want, not on things that you dont want, cos once you starting thinking of what you DONT want, the exact things are attracted to the exact thought.
Wow..
You are the only one who creates your realty, and you are really the outcome of what you started out in the past (hey I hv heard tt before..)

Kinda cool :)

The Mojito Life
Why mojito?
My first encounter with the drink was thanks to my bosses in my first job in the event company. Ever since I had the drink in their uber chic/zen apartment, I love the Zs - zest and zing that came in the form of the drink.
I like the taste of the mint and rum, together with the sugar that hits the spot on the tongue, and the after taste kick of the lime.
And given that it's not a really common drink, it's a treat whenever I find it on the drinks menu =D
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
Life has also moved on so fast after the first encounter..sooner than I knew it, it has been..what...7 years? I really felt that I have grown older so much over these 7 years and the psyche is so much different. From someone fresh out of uni, to someone who has become more guarded. As life move onwards (and moving at a really neck breaking speed if I may say), I can only hope that I can be wiser instead of more foolhardy, happier instead of being more jaded, and age more gracefully than a good bottle of red.
Meanwhile, I am looking forward to every treat whenever I see mojito at a new place that I go. So next time if anyone want to buy me a drink, you'll know what to get ;)
