waiting for jen this morning.
saw this little bookmark at the sofa.

what you can do
things you can do to reduce your
worries

most worries never come to pass and those things worth worrying about usually hit you by surprise.

1. only worry about the things you can control, not the things you cant, like the weather or price of petrol.
2. worry with a writing instrument. write your worries down on paper, and solutions will appear.
3. take comfort in the fact that most worries never come to pass and use it to force needless worries out of your mind.
4. share your worries with a close friend. explain everything in detail.
5. learn more about what it is that is worrying you. read a book. ask an expert. talk to a friend who’s been through it.

pls, remind me of this entry.

her boss tease her for havin a sis who prettier den her. jie’s cell group boys cheer & agreed ! earning heartfelt laughter from the twins. jie’s boss went over & whisper smt equally nice to jie. of coz, jie is totally cool abt it. our chara eh.

i hug jie ! and we gave the boys the champ-smile. haha ! did i make you go ‘awwwww’

*wink

njoy the meaningful service, , i like the spread a little love, i like the little msg delivered by pastor johnny, the good food, the friendly pple.

updates:
jie text me this the following morning.
‘faith makes all things possible,
hope makes all things work,
love makes all things beautiful,

– groove.

simple. powerful words.

went supermarketing with jen & asked her ‘can i buy this thing? its my always-wanted’ she got curious. what? excitedly lead her to the food aisle.

smoked salmon from supermarket.
she decided to complete the smoked salmon experience- crackers / cheese yum. its good.
hehe !
____________________________________________________

always-wanted.
i seems to have lotsa always wanted. she tries very hard to fulfill each & every always-wanted.. as long as its within her ability.
so far, yeap. my always-wanted are reasonable request.

ask me. what’s next on my list.

here:
www.sentosa.com.sg/explore_sentosa/attractions/sentosa_4dmagix.html

i went there once. on my bdae. right outside the theater but didnt went in. ask me and i might tell you the reason. yeap, i walked away from my always-wanted disappointment written all over my face..

..maybe that’s why i tried so hard to fulfill all my always-wanted since.
afterall, you only live once.

what’s your always wanted? get it done.
=)

awesome. baked by jie !

my ‘girls’ & my ‘guys’ (operation team)

well, the pretty girls.

my gossip partner in crime – Jo

my gossip partner #2 – KJ
i gave him the ‘heart’ instruct him to hold it & give a sad-look. haha !

take our heart !

merry christmas pple.

seriously.

do i have a bully-me face?

took 198 after work. sit myself at the outer seat (away from window) minding my own biz (daydream) a man got on the bus. standing two seats away.

continue daydreaming.

suddenly he stroll over
‘excuse me’
and proceed to climb in.
WITHOUT waiting for me to excuse him.. aka to give way.
yeap. he brush against my legs.
come on! sbs bus arent that spacious. how could you, being a grown up man attempt to climb in without me giving way to you?!

immediate response –
‘that was so rude’

he stared at me. shocked at my words.

i am shock at my own reaction. but manage to maintain a cool facade & gave him the look strictly reserve for cockroach.

shocked tat i managed to deliver those words in a cool and controlled manner. there wasnt a trace of anger in my voice. you could almost hear the ‘tsk tsk’ at the end of my 4 word sentence.

surprised at my courage.
pleased that i managed to express my view.

okie. enough whiney.

think abt it.
how do you give way to others on the bus?
as a woman, i swing my legs out, allowin the person to step in.
as a man, the man will usually stand up, allowing the person to step in. (which is the correct method)

mad was an understatement.

simple incident. yet noticed how much i have grown.
instead of keepin quiet abt it. i ‘take action’ it might be only words but it beats keepin quiet & suffer silently.

for this kinda cockroach.. pls voice out your tots !

– cockroach slayer groove

i’m on the roll baby !

my third blog entries within 15mins !

“minding my own biz (readin my book) on the train when i suddenly noticed a man lookin at me. suddenly goes, oh?! not bad lookin but he wore earring ! stop readin & stare at each other for awhile until i alight the train wahahah’- that was my msg to jen ! haha

elaborate.
im reading Jodi Picoult’s Perfect Match and i noticed this guy lookin at me.
ignored.
continue reading.

hello. try readin your book with someone staring at you.
i gave up.
close shop and my turn to look at him.

he caught me staring and opps, i was dumb enough to smile.
nature reaction, pple.
i didn’t smile-smile and gave him the ‘oh, please ask for my number look’

i smile coz its ridiculous-funny. no?
was i smiling when i read my book? did i frown? worse, did i bite my nails like i always do when i read. and the next tot was ‘duh. do i really give a damn how this stranger tot of me?’
that’s why i smile ! haha

what’s even funny is i smile and he caught my smile !
goodness, i cant believe myself.

—————————————————————————-

just tot of smt funny.

had dinner with pumpkin recently and noticed a guy walked into the restaurant. and the guy look like the primary school guy i like.

*duh. knock your head !

not like-like but like coz i hv this primary school friend, i forgot his name.. okie, lets call him PSF (Primary-School-Friend) PSF is a bad boy, always getting himself into trouble. i remember him .. tall (i’m a shortie) and dirty, okie. untidy boy, tanned, short hair, easy smile. he watched after my back in class, i dunno why. and i let him copy my homework. haha !

anyway.

suspected PSF walked pass our table and i gave him my most charmin smile.

pumpkin goes ‘don’t smile at pple like that!’

huh? how come?

pumpkin goes ‘wah lau, its not right’

huh?!

i was just being friendly. in case that guy turn out to be my PSF.
well, of coz. that guy isnt groove’s PSF.
hello, this sorta thing only happens in the movie !

singal-er groove

elves @ orchard.

we saw a group of elves at the traffic light.

being elves.
these ppl are donned in green costumes, tight greenish-ugly looking clothes, greenish hat and greenish shoes (assumption. didnt see whats on their feet)
these elves roam among town, among us.

what-if question?
(from jen to me)

girl – $50 a hr. will u do it? wearin that?

girl’s answer: YES ! if you are with me. it will be fun. imagine walkin up to pple dressed like that. i can imagine us takin lotsa crazy photos with strangers, doing crazy stuff. but i wont do it if you pay me 100 / hour with boring pple. *yawn !

ah-ha ! glad tat i hang out with the fun gang. but well, yeap. i am fun / crazy enough to pull crazy stunts too haha !

i’m not the standard issue kinda girl but you wont use wild to describe me !

– crazy groove =)

oh. who? sound like me?! or there still someone dumb / inconsiderate enough to msg u so late? just to share a dream !
– groove

sorry, i laughed at guy’s response. he look so funny cute when he’s upset with me.
a part of me goes.. oh, poor guy! the other part of me just had to laughed.

the story goes:
i was thinkin abt the europe trip one of the nights & suddenly realised, oh. guy dunno ! whatsup?! i need to keep my bff in the loop. how could guy dunno !

feelin excited, tot it was only 1+am & decided to text him.

he replied me the next day. he need to whine. someone msg him very late knowing that he’s aldy deprived of slp.

*giggle

that ‘someone’ sound so familiar. 😉

and opps, it wasn’t 1am, it was 4am ! my qn to guy was ‘what was i doing at 4+am? i shld be sleeping !’

lesson:
live and learn.

i am allow to call the other bff (jen) any time, any day. (correction: i’m not allow to call jen in the morning. she needs her slp! :))
but not this bff (guy!) .. okie, dude i try to stick to the ‘normal’ hrs ! correction: seems like i’m the only person who you can call any time, any day keke

i will try to be considerate.. no guarantee lah.

but guy – do break the rules sometimes! i’ll msg u at 5am next time. haha !

– inconsiderate groovy
