Time of the year

It's that time of the year again that we gather with family and friends to exchange gifts and soak in the love and warmth of the Christmas spirit. So here's wishing one and all a blessed and wonderful Christmas!

So I went and got falsies glued unto my lashes. It wasn't very drama, the dar accompanied to a tiny shop in the chinatown area and in a mere 25min , I was done. All drama lashes and all. The process itself was somewhat uncomfortable but not painful and I must say, makes getting ready a breeze. Although now I can't spray water on my face, and neither can I rub my eyes, one of my favourite pastimes, might I add. But at least I look glam! ha.

The year did not start on the best of notes, I have been antsy and pensive about an event, thankfully it is over but the amount of effort and stress I endured over it, was really not all that worth it.

I was so riled up by the happenings that I lost myself for a moment. I was back to being the angry and scary one of yesterdays. To top it all off, the hubs was recalled to practice guarding our little isle and so I was left to my own devices, no calming, centering voice of reason in sight. Hence the crazy shenanigans. Thankfully it is all over and not only can I close a chapter in my life, I can banish the scary one of yesterdays back to where she should be and must stay.

It was so bad that when the dar came back from his recall, I was still fuming. Not good, seeming it was not to do with him. Oh well, there is always collateral damage in all means of warfare, no matter how unwilling a party we are to it.

Perhaps, the year has started in such a way that has enabled me to see clearly who my real frens are and to remind me to be appreciative of them and also to remind myself that I am just not cut out to be the type of person who can smile and speak words of flattery to a person who has done so many vindictive things time and again.


I feel a great sense of relief that I can finally put this issue to rest and I am trying hard not to bitch about it anymore. Well, like I said, I'm still trying.

人在做, 天在看.

I have been so lazy with my postings of late that I have a huge backload of pics and posts to upload. Sept was great tho. The Big day went well and then our minimoon to relaxation and back for the Big Race. It was fun. Think they each deserve a post of their own and I will do them justice with one each, in due time.

Since the BIG day, life has been rather slouth like for me and the dar. This is no good. I think we have both been buzzed out from the excitement and activity of everything, such that we are like really tired and limboed out. Time on the other hand still continues to fly by, such that we are blown away that we are into December and that the year 2009 as we know it, is coming to and end.

Annoyingly, my travel plans have been derailed by the Japanese who have to close for the new year so I am effectively stuck on this island. I am not pleased. Was really look forward to going somewhere, to stretch my legs and have a good walkabout. Have been feeling rather restless and listless of late. Not my usual OCD self at all. Shopping has lost it's lusture for me. Believe it or not, a weekend of shopping failed to score a single pair of shoes nor anything else for myself. Although I must say my Xmas shopping is well on track. Ok, not completely off my OCD self.

This weekend will be filled with work related outings. Well, at least we'll be doing something. Hopefully we can squeeze in a leisurely bike ride, hope the weather holds.

My urge to post often hits me when I am walking along, in the loo, or on the train. Most of the times, it is when I have no access to the internet. This would explain the dirth in posts of late, I have no idea why but the feeling to write has eluded me when I actually sit down to type. When I walk on the other hand, the thoughts flood my brain but alas, I am not able to do anything with them.

A month flies by so effortlessly when you are having fun with the one you love.

It has been a month since we tied the knot with our closest and dearest friends and family by our side.

And still I couldn't be happier. To our first month and forever, love you lots hubs.

Happy 1st month anni! xoxo.

“I'll Be There For You” by Louise Cuddon:


I'll be there, my darling, through thick and through thin

When your mind's in a mess and your head's in a spin

When your plane's been delayed, and you've missed the last train.

When life is just threatening to drive you insane

When your thrilling whodunit has lost its last page

When somebody tells you, you're looking your age

When your coffee's too cool, and your wine is too warm

When the forecast said, “Fine,” but you're out in a storm

When your quick break hotel, turns into a slum

And your holiday photos show only your thumb

When you park for five minutes in a resident's bay

And return to discover you've been towed away

When the jeans that you bought in hope or in haste

Just stick on your hips and don't reach round your waist

When the food you most like brings you out in red rashes

When as soon as you boot up the bloody thing crashes

So my darling, my sweetheart, my dear...When you break a rule, when you act the fool

When you've got the flu, when you're in a stew

When you're last in the queue, don't feel blue'cause I'm telling you, I'll be there.
