| How do you define a relationship being healthy? |
[Oct. 20th, 2009|06:15 pm] |

| |  uncomfortable | ] |
is it because it has been so long?
or the habit and getting used to one another being around?
is it the forgiveness and the endurement that put to the test?
or the non existent honeymoon period?
When do you say it's the end or when do you say that it's only the beginning?
Does communications really matter?
When a relationship can't reach other stage, does it mean it's not healthy?
is staying put good? or moving on to the next stage that important?
i'm a true believer in communicating. You've got problems with me, tell me.
It may be hard to listen but i will! it may be hard to accept. i'll take days to inhale it in. (that's if it make sense.)
when the communicating stops, what else will end?
does the love ends there? how about the need to not be lonely?
i no longer understand that part.
i think i am lost at this stage and i need to reboot for a while. |

This might come as a shock to some people, but I actually remember a time when people actually corresponded with letters. It was quite relaxing actually. You wrote what you had to say to the other person, slipped it into the envelope and posted it. Then you forgot all about it for weeks on end, until the other person replied eventually.
These days, I don’t actually do any real work till after lunch as it takes me that long just to get through all my emails and catch up on Facebook. That’s the trouble with SUPER FAST communication. There’s just not enough time. You send a note, and two seconds later, you get a reply. So you feel compelled to write a reply, and a reply comes shooting back. And on it goes. And before you know it, it’s time to retire and cash in your CPF. And you’re left with the haunting feeling that somehow you kind of should have done more with your life instead of hitting that ‘Enter’ button 5000 times a day.
And then there’s Facebook. My friend spends his/her whole life on it. Every minute, he/she’ll update all 589 friends with what he/she’s doing. But it’s not as if he/she’s telling us how he’s saving his world, or how Li Jiawei, who married China businessman Li Chao last Sept, gives birth to a baby boy. Instead, they range from the stupid (“Need to pee”) to 'i'm ordering MCdonalds!' This 'bring to light' 34 ‘Comments’, and 20 ‘Likes’, which led me to wonder whether I was missing some hidden code.
I've to resort to Facebook to find back my regular volunteers! Apparently, nobody uses emails anymore!!! I sent an email out 1 week ago asking them to sign up for volunteering. And no reply. When i sent a Facebook email yesterday, i got like 6 replies immediately in my inbox!!!
What world are we living in now? I hope it's a good one! What other ways of communications can we have? We have 'Twitter' and new 'Google Wave' coming up! Some of my friends DO not msn anymore, they twitter! How interesting is that! Technology has move so advance that we might be blinded by it.
i am one of them that is blind. |

| |  drunk | ] |
i puked 4 times. The worst hangover episode of my life! Everytime, after a session of hangover, i swear to myself, i never ever should have taken that last drink or worst! Mix up my drinks! But words/advices/reminders always fall on deaf EARS!
It was a pleasant Friday. A causal day at work, a boring meeting at 3pm, had a rather intriguing sms/msn session with a 13 year old. I had diarrhoea case due to eating Popeyes on Thursday. My stomach is not used to oily diet. Anyway, we had a belated birthday company dinner for Ivan and Jasmine.
It was at Palm Beach, One Fullerton. There are at least 8 dishes and we got 4 bottles of wine. I should not have ordered Gin Tonic when i'm drinking wine in the 1st place. 'It's only a glass, can't do any harm!'... That's my thought when i had the 1st glass. and I totally forget the fact that i'm an alcoholic! One glass will always led to the second and the third!
I left that resturant a happy woman! But the devil inside me craves for more! WHY NOT? We went to Wine Affaire and i ordered more Gin Tonic. And we moved our arses down to ReWind. to drink somemore lah! Whatelse!
OOoo: at reWind, my head is spinning like mad. and i need to get out of there! I got into a cab and pray i do not perform the act of Merlion until i reach my place. The long journey plus the highway road and the lights around me is encouraging me to perform!!! my 1st instinct to unwind the window and Ta-DAAA~ i hurled! for a good 1 minute!
Taxi uncle said: you should have ask me for plastic bag, i just washed my car. Damn! Here i am, my head spinning and trying to register what the guilt trip that uncle just thrown me. Half way through the journey, i asked him for the plastic bag, as i feel it coming... he was trying to get the bag open for me to 'YUCKS'. i just grab the damn thing and went into it!!! it was a full bag! damn damn damn!
I reach home. Fare was $24. i gave him $30 and apologise to him and ask him to wash his car. ha! I came home, grab some clothes and went into my bathroom and i hurl-lo again! My 3rd time! how come i've so much shit to yak! I clean myself up and head off to bed. Took me a while to sleep as my head still spinning like mad!
In the morning, i felt like i was hammered by someone last night! Head hurts and my stomach is spinning. I knew i had to go again! I rush to the bathroom and get it all out! I swear i could feel a piece of crab meat from last dinner came through my throat and down the toilet hole! *splash* i went and cook some noodles, ate an orange, drank tons of water.
Now, i'm typing and eating my green grapes and trying to forget about what happen within the last 24 hours...
it's TOO surreal... |

1 out of 4 mammals are endangered.
1/3 of the amphibians on our planet is endangered.
Polar bears are changing their hunting habits that endangers their own life.
That's their last desperate measure for food.
Magnificent spectacles are disappearing right before our own eyes.
The ecosystem that is so vital to our very own existence is collapsing right in front of us.
It's heart-wrenching.
But we don't see it. Or do we choose to not see it.
We may never truly, fully understand the mysteries that lies in every single part of this earth.
But it is ok. For we did not create it.
We should conserve it. For the existence of our future generations may very well depend on it.
It just doesn't seem fair others have to sacrifice their entire population for our luxury.
Do your part. And start today instead of waiting around for others to start the ball rolling.
Do it before we, face the possibility of extinction ourselves. |

I have officially cut off all sugar drinks. I only drink water or carbonated water now. NO more COKE or PEPSI or SARSI... the only SUGAR drinks i drink are freshly squeeze fruit juices and well, 100plus. NOW, i'm starting on my low carb diet. I have no idea how that will work out for me. I DID not lose any weight from the sugar intake.
Let's see if RICE and POTATOES are my sinful 'fats'! Oh, i also need to start working out half and hour everyday. I need to focus focus focus! Work is piling up and i can't afford to be lazy. i love to sleep. how like that? Love to dream! I blame my cats for my sleepiness! (excuses!)
So, i will update again in 2-4 weeks time on my new found diet. will let you know if i've reduce from 60KG!!!
I need to reduce my boobs size! i hate big boobs!!! arrrgghh!!!

Just got back from Hong Kong.
I suddenly realised how much i love to travel!
I lost to Hong Kong. The 2nd day into my trip, i was whinning about my backache, my knee cap hurts. basically, i see a seat nearby or anything that can support my arse. i will slide over and sit. Except when i see something i like/love, i focus my pain onto somewhere else. As soon as the interest is over, there comes my whinning and groaning! haha!
Everyday, we wake up at 9am and travel down for breakfast and shopped, took lunch at 3pm and shopped and shopped and shopped and get back to our hotel at 11pm-12am with our late dinner/supper. And we will buy a bunch of bananas to eat. helps you to poo. Took quite a number of pictures.
My favourite shop is G2000! i bought like 5 pants! for less than $30!!! haha! so happy!!! Got like 6 handbags for my mum! and of course, smelly cat got like a dozen dresses too!
I want to go back there again!
Strangely, the weather did not affect my mood at all. and oh, we almost missed our plane on our way back! the damn custom auntie told me that Gate 31 was nearby! it was a 400m sprint!!! they were announcing our names all over the airport! we were dashing like mad!!!
it's an experience i'll nv forget!! haha!
will update with pictures SOON! |

The ambassador of porn:
Since I’ve been voted by my boys as A.O.P a.k.a Ambassador of porn. All thanks to Timo. He dug up the inner gay boy in me. Haha! No no, don’t get mistaken, I don’t have fetish for gay boys making out and bonking each other up. For me, I just love to SHARE. Sharing is good. =)
I have come to the terrible conclusion that the only way I will be able to retire rich at an age where I won’t yet need to be hooked up to a respirator and a wheelchair is to take on new careers as porn star director.
It’s a win-win situation. I will get paid to do something that MOST people are taping/downloading/buying desperately. I’m thinking cheap production values and quick shoots in Batam, heh, followed by a drive through at the bank to deposit my cheques!
Not surprise, I would expect my gay boys to take the idea seriously as they want a PIECE of the action (if you know what I mean). I’m SURE they will be obsessing over an appropriate stage name and working on the script for their debut performance, which largely involves a gym, skipping rope and a medicine ball for props.
I’ve already come up with a character name ‘Miss Pussy Poh Pan Ping!’ Ah yes, with the exclamation mark, it’s impactful! I want my opening scene of the movie at the back of the bus! I’m thinking the 190 as it zooms through Orchard Road. There’ll be a crash shot of the aunties at the bus stop as the camera cuts to my gay boys!
Maybe I could have my movie premiered at the new casino! I’m telling you, my act will put this country on the map! They’ll be talking about it for years! I’m still thinking about a career – switch to porn. |

Chris: That’s it, Sylvia. I’m letting go. And you should too. Do you know how often I’ve thought of you? When I’m down, I always play back all the times we shared. And I ask myself, I gave that up for this? I’ve walked out of a club, it’s cold and the guy I was eyeing the whole night has gone home with someone else. And I turn a corner and I imagine you waiting there for me. There’s a warm house to go back to, where our children are sleeping, and if I turn on the lights I’ll see the furniture we chose. I would wonder whether Kenneth did the right thing. We all want a home. And sometimes we want the kinds of homes our parents had.
Sylvia: But you didn’t want that.
Chris: Why is it so difficult to understand, Kenneth? Why would I choose a life where there are no guidebooks? My father wasn’t a very good man, but at the very least he can say that he brought life into this world. Now why would I give up that chance to leave behind something of myself, something more than a memory, a trace of my face in someone else, my blood, my habits, the way I laugh… Because this is what I am. I can’t change that. My conscience won’t let me.
Sylvia: So was I an experiment, Chris?
Syl: It’s time to let go.
Chris: Every relationship is, Sylvia. |

Pam Oei's super letter to ST
Today at 2:54pm
Volunteer tells why Aware's EGM turned raucous
I READ Ms Sumiko Tan's article on Tuesday, 'More losers than winners', with dismay. There were some 3,000 people present last Saturday at the extraordinary general meeting (EGM) of the Association of Women for Action and Research (Aware). Emotions were charged, people came to correct what they thought was a grave injustice to the core principles of Aware, they came to stand up for what they believed in, they came to speak up.
If Ms Tan expected 3,000 people in these emotionally strenuous conditions to sit like sheep and make polite conversation, then obviously she had not thought through the gravity or extent of the event.
I was one of the volunteers for the old guard and my duties included keeping peace in the hall. As volunteers, we were prepped for these conditions and we braced ourselves for extreme ugliness. There was none. There was no violence and considering what we had to put up with, I think the crowd was very well-behaved.
In fact, everything was relatively quiet until Ms Josie Lau's team started to switch off the microphones on the floor at the start of the meeting to silence the crowd. When one is trying to speak up in a hall as cavernous as the one in Suntec City with no microphone, one is left with little choice but to shout to be heard. Even the new guard's legal counsel, Mr Gregory Vijayendran, advised that the microphones be left on as this was normal procedure at an EGM.
Ms Lau's team's actions set the tone for the EGM, the crowd did not. This 'unbecoming behaviour', which Ms Tan described as 'disquieting and disgusting', was not 'bitchiness' as she claimed. This was passion, which Ms Lau's supporters did not have, made clear by the fact that most of them left after voting, without even caring about the outcome.
We protested when Mr Siew Kum Hong was told to go and sit with the men at the sidelines. There is nothing in the Constitution that dictates segregation of sexes at an EGM. Furthermore, Mr Siew was acting as legal counsel for the old guard, so he had every right to sit with them.
We protested when Ms Lau started making her president's address; we had not come to listen to her speech. This was not an ordinary meeting, this was a meeting requisitioned for by 160 Aware members to submit our vote of no confidence in Ms Lau's exco. Ms Lau proceeded with her speech eventually and we protested again when she brought up a slide that showed the achievements of Aware in the past 24 years, none of which she or her team was responsible for.
We protested when Ms Lau tried to credit the spike in membership from January to last month to her new exco. The spike in membership had nothing to do with the work of her new exco, they had not done any.
We protested when Ms Sally Ang shouted the now infamous 'shut up and sit down' line into the microphone. We were treated like primary school children from the start and we were not about to allow that to happen.
We protested when Dr Thio Su Mien hijacked the microphone from people who had queued for up to an hour and a half for their chance to speak.
We protested when she started to boast of her credentials and why she deserved the self-named title of 'Feminist Mentor'. This was the woman who had admitted that she was the driving force behind the March 28 takeover of Aware.
We protested when she demanded that we respect our elders; as a member of the meeting so rightly called out, respect has to be earned.
We protested when it was revealed that $90,000 had been spent by Ms Lau's team in the past month, a staggering figure that made many of us gasp in shock.
As a volunteer peacekeeper, I found certain times very trying myself, such as when a male supporter of Ms Lau's team twice referred to the crowd as 'the congregation'. We were not a congregation, but we were certainly expected by Ms Lau's team to behave like one.
