不在乎天长地久，只在乎曾经拥有。。。

that's my omnia...

its... GONE... SOLD... no more...

its a phone that has got everything, of which i use nothing...

i'm not tech-savvy... i'm back to using my trustee lil red phone!

iwant an itouch... should be easier to use right?

it's been a while since i felt like this... peace...

running is exhilarating, liberating, peaceful... just me, myself and my music... the wind blowing against my face, the setting sun in front of my eyes... the mind free of all worries... nothing else matters, just immersing myself in music, letting it take away all the emotions...

i love it... never felt so peaceful before, thank you God!

met karen today for lunch, the moment she saw me she said that i'm 很瘦! this is good and bad at the same time... good because i'm losing weight without even trying... bad because... i think this means i'm stressed, hence the poor sleep quality and the occassional loss of appetite...

i need a holiday :p

enough of getting drunk, time to pick myself up!

thank you dear friends for your words of encouragement :)




I'm gonna be okay :)

on growing up...

when i was young, i always wished i would grow up faster.
the adult world seemed so alluring, freedom to do what i want, financial stability, and even working seemed like fun, looking good in corporate wear and doing my part to help the world... and of cos, a little girl's dream of having a family... a knight in shining armour...

now that i'm grown up... i wished i never grew up.
is this what they call the irony of life?

i never knew that growing up means realizing that my family isn't as complete as i thought it was.
i never knew that growing up means they expect you to understand their situations.
i never knew that growing up means the realizing that dreams of a knight in shining armour is not going to come true.
i never knew that growing up means i gotta deal with people who lie and cheat.
i never knew that growing up means finding out that working life isnt what i imagined it to be...
i never knew that growing up is so difficult...

who can i trust when both of you are not honest with me?

i just want you to be honest... why is it so hard?



i feel like i'm nobody's child... :(

sports wkend

its been a physically draining wkend and i'm so glad that i survived it. almost every inch of my muscle is aching and the many blisters on my toes are adding to the pain. but... its all worth it!

the first bout of exercise started on friday at our team building session - rock climbing. i know rock climbing uses alot of muscles, i just didnt realise they use the muscles that we (or rather i) seldom use... hence, i'm aching at the weirdest places where i never used to ache. not v helpful for my frisbee games the next day. the day ended with the department practicing volleyball for our inter-company games on wednesday. haven't played vball for years and it really showed cos my arms were bruised! the pain continued till sunday... feels as if i have rheumatism... pictures on rock climbing to be uploaded shortly!

saturday and sunday was the singapore open 2008! teams from all over south-east asia came to join us. i think i remember seeing teams from philippines, vietnam, thailand, hongkong, japan, taiwan, malaysia, indonesia (?) and even australia! my team played a total of 6 games (only) and won 3. a little disappointing seeing that we didn't quite rise to the occasion and play to our potential... but oh well... we had lots of fun :)


shwu, ping & i


my teammates!

after the tournament i headed off to the 10k nike human race... more like 10k human queue... it was a poorly organised run... the routes were so narrow... most of the time it was just human jam... doesn't help that we're running through crowded places and people staring at you isn't fun.. i even had a pre-run before i started the run.. chose to cab down to esplanade cos i thought parking would be a killer.. turned out there was a massive traffic jam along the rocher exit along ecp... cab driver told me "xiao jie, think you get off here and run there faster... otherwise you'd be late for your run"... and so i did... got off the cab in the middle of the highway and ran to esplanade... what an adventure!


the human jam...


us, before the run...


us, after the run... please ignore the couple making out behind us...


met jaja after the run! she still looks fresh... 10k is NOTHING to her... i met ah hu too.. while running... she ran so fast she left me eating her dust!


and of cos, EJ & christina...

thank goodness jack & rai ended the night with great songs :)

now that my fantasy wkend is over... its time to get my ass back to work...
