Out of My Dreams Came You!
2008-02-28 06:56:00
Continuing the anniversary countdown....Unfortunately I'm not as artistic or creative as Azwaj to write him a song but I found this poem by Susan Leilani and I feel that it really describe the way I feel when Azwaj came into my life.. So this one is for you, my Love...And Out of My Dreams Came You!by Susan LeilaniDeep in the silence, one nightfallWhen the moon sat still, shone bright,Came the utterance of one single moonbeamAt my window... tapping, ever so light;And in the flicker of one swift instantI felt its warming embrace;It encompassed me and then I trembledAs before me appeared your sweet face.Then the radiance of that gentle smile,The love shining soft in your eyes, Began to penetrate with the moonlightStraight through me, to deafen my cries.Now, no longer am I ever lonely.With each nightfall there's you and love's true:In the darkness I seek out my moonbeamAnd out of my dreaming... comes you!Cheerio...

3BT - 25 February 2008
2008-02-26 22:29:00
After yesterday's ranting and venting.. it's time to find three things that I found pleasurable today:The smell of curry coming from the kitchen from my neighbour below. I wonder if they mind if I knocked on the door with a bowl in hand?? Lolzz;The sight of my clean floor after being vacuumed and mopped;Playing hide and seek with Aggie - she's was meowing and calling me from the center of the room and when I went to pick her up, she started to run.. so we ended up playing hide and seek instead.. and here's she is...all panting after runningaround with me....lolzzCheerio...

Three Beautiful Things
2008-02-26 22:28:00
I have always been curious when I blog hopped and see entries with the tag 3BT. I sort of understood the concept but I wanted to be sure. So today I decided to find out what it was all about.The search brought me to a site called Three Beautiful Things . The idea is to write daily three things that have given you pleasure . I think it is a wonderful idea so here is what I found pleasurable today.Azwaj came home today saying that he does not need to work after all.. Yeay!!After six weeks of not eating any seafood, except fish because of my surgery, I ate a full plate of Char Kuay Teow minus the bean sprouts with lots of cockles and prawns. Yummy!!Anja looking all pretty again after her bathCheerio...

Thank You!
2008-02-24 17:29:00
I can't please everyone and I can't make everyone happy and most of all I can't make everyone love me. So in sight of all these, sometimes I just have to sit back, take a pause and say thank you to you for all these feelings you stirred that is being pent up inside of me...So thank you...Thank you ...for making me feel like I don't belong;for making me feel like I don't deserve to be in your company;for ignoring me and making me totally uncomfortable;and most of all...for making me feel like an outsider!I know it's bad to wish this but I hope someone will return the favour to you :)Have a good life...

6 Weeks Ago..
2008-02-22 20:53:00
Dear Diary..Six weeks ago today, I went through my very first hospital stay. It was for a fibroid removal surgery. I always told myself that I would keep myself healthy so that I never need to be admitted to the hospital and the only reason I would is going to be for maternity purposes. Well, you know what? It was not quite for maternity reasons but I was admitted into the maternity ward! How coincidental is that right? You just have to laugh at the irony.Anyway all went fine. Despite the two runaway threads adventure, I've healed wonderfully. No fever, no swelling, no pain. In fact, Abah actually called me "one tough nut"... I think he meant cookie...heheh... I was really touched with Abah and Mama kindness and love when I was there. For that I am thankful. My own mother is thousands of miles away so to know that you have family here too really feels good and heart warming.So officially I am off the "pantang". I actually had a piece of prawn last week just for a test drive and sin...

I Enjoy Being With Me
2008-02-22 20:47:00
I do.. Really! Always have and always will.This past week since Azwaj gotten this onsite job at the client's, I decided that I will just hang around the house for a while. Yes, I am a housewife but most of my time is spent at Azwaj's office coz he just can't bear to be away from me..(yeah rite!..lolzzz).. Anyway that's just the way it is. He would leave in the morning and come back in the afternoon to pick me up for lunch and I would stay at the office till whatever time he leaves, which can even be in the wee hours of the morning...Since last week however, he has been stuck at TTDI for this major project that he's gotten just before the Chinese New Year and since I can't jolly well hang around at the client's place, I stayed home instead.And I absolutely loved it. You know, so many of my SG relatives and friends were absolutely surprised that I can actually be a housewife knowing how I was before I moved here. They were all like "aren't you bored..no kids some more!". My ...

Deep Slumber
2008-02-19 03:35:00
I have never been one to sleep in the afternoon. In fact I avoid it like the plague simply because I always wake up feeling groggy and more tired than I actually was.Afternoon naps are only for when I am not feeling well, late nights - which means I literally sleep at dawn, or just because it's a lazy day, which I don't have very often. Anyway, today, after Azwaj left for work, I was still feeling sleepy but because I had loadful of laundry in the washing machine, I wanted to wait it out first before deciding whether I was going to return to my comfy bed or not. That was around 10am.While waiting for my laundry to complete it's cycle, I vacuumed the floor and reheat the grilled chicken that was going to be lunch today. I thought, ok with all these activities, I will, for sure, be wide awake. I was wrong, coz even coffee did not help, not that it ever did anyway..lolzz.I took Miss Fly to the living room and watched tv for a while while eating my grilled chicken sandwich. I watched...

Evacuation Plan?
2008-02-17 10:16:00
Sometimes in life we take for granted that everything is going to go fine. When something bad happens, you believe it is always to someone else. Well wake up call today for me.It was around 7pm today. I just finished my shower after taking a break from my DVD marathon of Cashmere Mafia when there was a loud knock on my door. Upon checking it was Sally, our neighbour who told me that there was a fire on the 11th floor. "Prepare to leave!" she said.I got ready, grabbed my important paperwork and called Azwaj, who had to work today. He told me to get ready and he's coming home. The next thing on my mind was our kitties. There are six of them. What do I do if I really to leave the apartment? I can't leave them here, all locked up with no where to go. A thousand and one things went through my mind. Ideas on how to get them to safety in case the fire really spread. OMG! The thought that I might have to leave them behind, unprotected, really scare me. The best thing I can do is just let...

Changes in My Life
2008-02-14 20:42:00
I decided today to just sit and reflect back on my life these seven years.The reason why I'm doing this is because our wedding anniversary is coming soon. It's going to be eight years on March, 25th! Eight wonderful years! It has it's ups and downs of course. I'd be in self-denial if I did not admit that. However, on the whole, the sweetness way outweigh any bitterness that exist.Wow, seven years ago, I married this wonderful man that I've only known for one and half years. It was such a whirlwind romance because of our distance. Me, a born and bred Singaporean and he a full pledged Bumiputera Malaysian. We got to know one another from, you guessed it, cyber world.I remember I was a late bloomer in the chatting world. I only started chatting at the age of twenty nine and that also because I was crazy over the boyband "Boyzone". They were having this chat session and boy did I want to be there to chat with Ronan Keating. Anyway that's a different story although but that the sta...

The Day of Love
2008-02-14 20:37:00
Valentine's Day.. ahh.. the day of love for so many and yet I've never been one to celebrate it. In fact even when I was with my first boyfriend, we both decided that the event was over commercialized and decided not to celebrate it.Now, with Azwaj, it is just another day. Just a day when lovers all over the world spend money needlessly to show their love for one another. Sadly it is always the women that makes such a fuss about it and it's the men that just follow along with it to pacify their otherwise paranoid significant other.I personally don't have anything against the day. It is a wonderful concept to celebrate love. I mean there's a day for everything else. There's Mother's Day, Father's Day, Teacher's Day and I even celebrated Secretarial Day, although that one was more like a Secretarial Week! So No, I don't have anything against it. Who can? It's a day for love!So, nothing happened today at our household for this day and it is alright with me. In fact, Azwaj on...

Opps..What Did I Just Say?
2008-02-14 20:21:00
Have you ever spoken and immediately regretted it sometimes?. Have you ever wished you had thought about what you were going to say before the words just get uttered out? Have you sometimes wished you could just snapped your fingers and wished it was five seconds ago?Sometimes we say things without ever thinking how the other party might feel. Sometimes we feel we have every right to say what's on our mind. To heck with what other people feel. To heck with the repercussions. But what happens when the same happens to you? What if another person did the same to you? Would you bitch about being hurt or are you one of those people that don't care? Are you one that just shrugged your shoulder and say "hey, it's not personal"Me? To be honest about it, I always tend to put a front that I don't care when in fact I do. It's never "not personal". It's always personal. I think you are just in denial if you think otherwise, as a self-defense mechanism. But what do I do when such things ha...

The Writer In Me
2008-02-10 16:08:00
Back when I was in school, my teachers always say how one day I will be writer. I just laughed it off and consider it as a funny joke. I mean, just because I write well in school does not mean I will be a writer right?Then as I grew up, I started writing. I started writing my journal. I started writing in my diary everyday about the things that happened to me even though it was the most insignificant event like that stranger who suddenly smiled at me at the bus stop. It was my record of the life I lead.I still have those diaries now as I read through my entries sometimes, I am so glad that I actually document it all coz the events might have been insignificant then but now it makes me laugh, it makes me cry and it makes me remember what my life was like once upon a time.Now, here I am, writing again but in an online journal for the world to read. It would never be as personal as a diary but to share with all what's going on in my life is somewhat scary I think. Sometimes I don't e...

The year of the Rat promises good fortune for everyone. The Chinese believe that the rat are a bunch of hardworking animals and that means good business for everyone.It's looking good for hubby's business as well. He landed a big project involving not only sales but also networking setup and maintenance contract early this month and the project is underway already.And that is why, I'm blogging from his office right now coz he's working on five pc's which is due for delivery on Monday and I am keeping him company while he's there.Looks like a hectic Chinese New Year break for both of us!Cheerio...

Take Time to Pause
2008-02-04 14:37:00
Can you believe I found these lovely words behind a tea box....Harmony is the inner cadence of contentment we feel when the melody of life is in tune. When somehow we’re able to strike the right chord – to balance the expectations of our families and our responsibilities in the world on the one hand with our inner needs for spiritual growth and personal expression on the other.Usually, when the distractions of daily life deplete our energy, the first thing we eliminate is the thing we need the most: quiet, reflective time. Time to dream, time to think, time to contemplate what’s working and what’s not, so that we can make changes for the better.Take time to PAUSE....Cheerio...
