Bega
I got my hair done and was just strolling towards the taxi stand when the clothes hanging on those racks distracted me and lured me into the shop.
All I had to do was to just take a longer look at one item and examine it a little closer, and the chirpy salesgirl started fussing over me like some mother dressing up her little girl for a party. She zipped all over the store and picked out armloads of blouses and dresses for me to look at. Everytime I opened the dressing room door to come out to look at the blouse/skirt on me, she would be standing there with another set of clothes. Then she would stuff them in my face and ask me "Is this nice? What do you think of this? Try this lah! Try lah! Just try only! See how! See how!" , in her cheery-whiny voice. I must admit she is quite good at it cos I did not feel overwhelmed at all. Just felt very "helped". I did not have to walk around the store to pick out the nice stuff. She could tell, from the expression on my face when I tried on the first few items, what sort of taste I had and what styles suit my figure best. She also knew my size! Thereafter, all I did was just to step in and out of the dressing room. No need to browse!
She was good. The clothes somehow fit me like a glove (especially the skirts) and I finally picked out 3 blouses and 3 skirts. Don't want to talk about the cost but I managed to get the "member" card that would give me a 10% discount everytime next time. *blush*
That will be all for the month. Enough!!! *big smiles*

Warp Bio Clock
We've been messin' up our biological clock! For two nights (or days?) in a row, we've been sleeping at 6am in the morning and waking up at 3pm...(he woke up at 6pm today!) I wonder how I'm going to survive tomorrow at work man.
Ham Ham's wheezing real badly. I don't know why! He's been making those (rather cute) sounds and it seems like he's having a hard time breathing. He was standing up, leaning against his "house" just now and he was hanging his head over the edge. His eyes were closed and it seemed that he was sleeping in that position. It's so fun to watch him, but at the back of my mind, I wonder if he is feeling uncomfortable or something, with all that wheezing. I took him out for a cuddle and I let him walk all over my table. He had a ball exploring all my stuff and I had to put a stop to him chewing at my handphone charger's wire. Such a sweet hammie. The best temperament ever! I hope he's not sick. Will wait a few days to see if the wheezing goes away.
I'm getting addicted to mahjong! Not good.
I am also getting into the whole skincare regime thingey. It's actually very fun to pamper yourself. There are a whole list of products I intend to get/do :
1) SKII cleanser (bigger jar!)
2) SKII facial treatment water
3) Scar removal/lightener gel
4) Facials
5) Eyelash perm
6) Eyeshadows - new colours.
Ooh, I'm excited about going shopping to get all the stuff. Going to the counters to get the products, finding out more about them, doing something for myself. Some pampering! It's about time man...But before I start buying the stuff, I got to make sure I finish using whatever I am currently using. I already have countless jars and tubes of stuff I can use on my face. I got to clear them first...throw out the old ones, finish using the current ones.
What fun!

The Peaceful Place
Suddenly I felt transported back in time to the early 1980's. I'm seated on one of the cold stone benches at the flats at the Holland Village area...it's night and there isn't anyone else in sight. The families living in the 3-room flats are in their houses, watching TV, sleeping....I'm seated on the cold stone benches, looking up at the dim orange street lights, listening to the night insects and the distant sounds of the TV programmes from the residents. It's quite drak but I don't feel any sense of fear or danger. There is a light breeze in the air. I sit and enjoy the breeze as I swing my feet gently...It's such a peaceful feeling...I'm a little wistful sitting there thinking of my childhood...thinking of everything and anything...
Leslie's voice can really take me to places...
I only wish there was a way in which we can share our thoughts. I will take you with me to the places that I go to in my thoughts, let you feel the peacefulness, the whole ambience of the place, let you understand what I mean through the experience and in turn, I have some company in those thoughts and there is someone sitting next to me on that cold stone bench.

Eve of Eve of New Year
Tonight's the night where the market will open till late for last minute shopping!
CNY is just around the corner...I'm not sure what I am looking forward to, but there is always this sense of excitement about CNY. I think it's this streak that is left in me by my dad. He was always excited and happy about the new year.
We saw Flight of the Phoenix just now. Turned that that it was much better than I expected.
I don't ever want to be caught in the desert.
I was trying imagine myself in the desert with those people as I was watching the movie. Do you know that the sand in the desert is none like the sand on the beaches? It's more like dried soil...and its very fine...the first layer blows easily in the wind and it can "stick" on your clothes and skin very easily because it's so fine.
Want to know how I know? I was at the desert in Arizona once....

Wedding bells aren't ringing
Just found out from KH that A isn't getting married anymore. I kind of suspected last year when I met up (I think it was last June or something...cannot remember...it was THAT long ago) with the rest of the gang.
Aiyah...whatever lah....
Aiyah...whatever lah....
moods
I installed ICQ and immediately I was sent a reminder to tell me that it's his birthday on 9 Feb. I was even prompted to send a birthday card.
I won't do that...it's senseless. This account should not exist anymore but I still want to hang to it because letting go is like letting go of the last contact or something. I even tried to send a message hoping that somehow there would be a reply but of course...there wouldn't.
I'm feeling really lousy now. Feeling very moody. I dont' even feel like working tomorrow.
What's wrong with me?!?!

Rwanda
Saw Rwanda twice. It's such a good movie. Very touching and very sad. I still find it hard to believe that genocide happened only ten years ago. In this age and time...it shows that modernization has little effects on the improvement of Man's mentality and ability to think logically and rationally. The power of collective hatred can drive Man to the extremes of insanity.
It's amazing. This movie makes me appreciate what we Singaporeans take for granted in our country - racial harmony. I was just telling Sam, "Can you imagine if I kill you just because you are Malay?" It is absolutely unthinkable! I cannot imagine myself being killed because of what I am. It's just senseless.
My heart goes out to the Rwandians who have perished under the hands of their own fellow countrymen.
