im suppose to be sleeping.. just took my drowsy pills.
but i decided moment and feeling like this are rare.. and i like to capture this feeling into plain, simple words..

met pumpkin for dinner. and.. i knew he recorded videos of himself playing the keyboard.
we watched the video together..it make me smile.. he composed the melody on the spot..

i didnt noe what to say after the video ends.. im not good with words.. esp when he’s with me.

i asked some qns and requested to see the video again.

and.. this time, i cried.

*touched*

its beautiful..

and i tot.. abt us. i felt so lucky .. to have him. these 7 mths, he shown me alot..
honestly, speaking.. i hv been through alot .. and.. i hv forgotten what its like to believe in love, to hv faith in someone other den myself..

at this stage of my life.. when im ready to share my love with someone.. i found someone who’s eager to share his love with me.

he’s ready to skip his morning meetin & visit me when i’m sick (i say no! work is more impt, smts.. !),
after a long day at work, he’s pop by ntuc to get me healthy food,
he called me in the morning & lunchtime wanting or rather needed to make sure i’m okie.

i forgotten.. how it feels to be this impt to someone.. to hv someone who cares so much.. to hv someone who make me laugh as much.. to feel this much love..

whenever pple asked – minying, are you happy?
each time.. i answered with a bright smile – yes, i am happy.. with him.

remember my rule #2 – there’s no forever.
with pumpkin.. i, hope, i wish, and i think..   there’s forever.

thanks for reading.

*powerveggies and powerberries

really. i hv enough of this.

if pple cant make d effort to be on time, i dont see why i shldnt let them wait in future.

so, yeap. dont whine if someday, i make u wait for 45mins. payback time. maybe, just maybe these pple will understand how does it feel.

-G

pissed is an understatement.

if u notice, this sem seems okie.. i hardly whine abt school or pple but i am. now.

irritated.

grp assignment, i cover like almost 75% of the bloody report and i have given my grp mates 2 weeks plus to get their act together for the balance 25%.

deadline is 23th aug.

both of them didnt turn up for monday cls which is fine with me.. but i havent receive anything from them. i hv to email them reminding them of the deadline and they replied. 

what pushes me from hot to boiling hot musta this sentence – someone pls consolidate before submission. thanks alot for his comment. wth. why cant he be the one who consolidate? i understand they are rushin for accts assignment which is due tml.. hey, den you shld start on our grp assignment 2 weeks ago !! i hv given you time but you choose to do it last min.. dont push it back to me and claim you are busy with accts assignment and and expecting ME to consoliate.

i’m fine with pple slacking, i’m even okie with doing more den anyone else. but make sure u do ur part when i told u too.

last – like i always say, if you wanna get this degree, time & effort.

-G

love my nick! hehee this is sucha bo-liao but kinda impt entry. at least to me lah ! we used each other photos as our msn-display-pix. yeap, to the rest of u maybe its nothing.. but to me, its a big step. i suppose its d same feeling as meet-the-parents. i took him home after 6 mths of dating. its a form of embedding each other into our life.. (L)  

of coz, like any other couples.. we hv our differences as well as similarities ! mmm.. but after 7 mths, everything is still sweet & nice between us.

*happy

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

loyalty & comfort vs challenge & unknown.
life is full of choices and i have make a decision.
i know its a major decision. i’m aware of the impact of my future career path.

the new job open doors for the future. its a MNC & i got it on my first interview.
but to me, life is not abt work, neither do i crave for any career advancement.

oh. having say all that, pls dont ask me the meaning of life.
*shrug

whatever it is.. be happy, always.

”this morning.. i read the news abt flood in china etc etc
den i tot.. pple out there are so poor thing
here i am wonderin abt sucha stupid thing?
am i being silly?
when i hv pple so nice to me, but i choose to go?”

i wondered that out loud.

jen’s reply: if everyone is like you then there wont be rat race..

i’m minying. i will always be your simple minying.
i’m not someone who wanna climb any corporate ladder.
i’m not someone who wants to conquer the world.
honestly, i dont really care much abt career path.

you see, there are different pple in these world.
and as the saying goes – we are all unique individuals.

for me, i only wanted a job. of coz, i needed the challenge, the need to pick up new stuff.
but at the end of the day.. i just want to work in a familiar environment under a nice manager, with wonderful colleagues.

i like to move on. it hv been a good 7 years.
and if i dont.. i might be struck here forever.
i’m turning 30 in 2 years time.
shldnt i be brave and step outta my comfort zone?

its not abt monies or anything.
in fact, i asked for the same salary at the new company.
yes, it was really a matter of learning and moving on with life.

im very very touched by this episode. how much my bosses cherish & appreciate me.

struggle to reach a decision.
decision, decision, decision..

🙁
