Chinatown

Didn't manage to upload my pictures yesterday as I went to Chinatown after my grandma's checkup. I'm glad to say that my granny is doing well except for a slightly high blood pressure. I always enjoy sitting there, chatting with her while waiting for my aunt to get the medicine. She never ceases to make me smile, to make me happy with her gibberish. She's like a little child now. Seeing her being so fascinated by the lights on the Christmas tree at the hospital makes me feel sad that she's not staying with me anymore. But seeing her happy makes me happy too. :)

After sending her back to the Medicare Centre, Aunt Margaret and I went to Chinatown to find clothes. I need to look for cheongsam or qipao (aka Chinese traditional dresses) for another of my company's D&D whereas my aunt was looking for clothes to buy for New Year and for office. While we were walking around, I realised that it's been a long time since I last went out with my aunt alone.

I still remember how much I used to like going out with her. I would always be very happy when she said that she will be bringing me out for the day and I'll happily tag along. She brought me to my first bowling game, to watch a movie, to buy shoes for me. We had lots of fun time and she would always be the one who pays for stuff. Yesterday was the first time I paid for something for her. I treated her to desserts. It's not much but somehow, it made me feel glad that I can treat her to something or pay for something. She's always been nice to me.. I know I will look after her when she gets old.. Same goes for Aunt Michelle. :)

So, with a twisted foot and walking all the distance, my foot's not getting any better but honestly.. Who cares? As long as I enjoyed myself, I can take a bit of pain. Today's Friday.. Weekend's coming! Yay! It's gonna be the end of the year soon. Time flies... Coz last year at this time, it was my last few days of work at DBS. Now, here I am.. in another bank.. Happy yet not satisfied.. Haha.

walking in the woods...

i was watching a tv show just now when i heard this description of love.. "love is like walking in the woods. some people fall in love with the 1st tree that they see, but there are people who cannot decide which tree they prefer. in the end, these people walk out of the woods alone, without finding any tree that they love". i find it quite meaningful. the woods may be big, but some people do manage to find a tree that they love. some people fall in love with the 1st tree that they see and it stays that way forever. some.. walk through the whole woods but due to indecisiveness, are not able to find any tree that they love coz they have either missed the chance n it's too late to turn back or they might have given up the chance. will they regret? some people do but some people don't. there's always 2 sides to a coin, isn't it? some people might have walked into the woods, found a tree that they loved n lost but yet found another tree to stay together wit

Rumour

Went to a club at Clarke Quay last nite called Rumour with the regulars from Instinct. The club is kinda like Dragonfly but the music is not as good, the live band and singers were also not that good. The lead singer who is supposedly the most handsome has got a whiney voice when he sings. Shudders.. Think I still prefer DF anytime, any day. Reached home at 6 and slept at 6.30am.. Tiring.. I have been pubbing and clubbing 6 nites in a row.. Think I need to cut down and relax a bit. But, drinking is a form of relaxation coz I get to talk to friends and enjoy. :p Had a chat with Mingjie (another regular at Instinct) last nite. He truly impressed me by wooing the same girl for 7 years! He knew her 10 years ago, got together for 3 years, broke up and tried wooing her back for 7 years. It's truly fascinating. I'm amazed and at the same time, envious. No guy have ever wooed me for so long.. All just want me to be their gf within days or weeks. Any longer, they give up or pressure me

disappointed n jer's departure...

been a little disappointed with friends.. the term 'friends'.. what does it actually mean? someone u can talk to, someone who will be there for u? how many people can do that for a long time? i'm not very sure but i used to try n keep it contact with close friends in the past. i did all i could to stay in touch n find out what's going on in their lives so that our friendship can stay strong. however, that wasn't the case. 1 fine day, i finally decided to stop taking the initiative to remain in contact with them n the result was, they didn't bother either. what happened to the friendship between us? i'm not sure. but it takes 2 hands to clap n i don't understand y i always have to be the one who makes it happen. i've lost many friends coz of that. upset.. of coz i was. i've always treasured friendships but i don't see the point of hanging on if the friendship is so 1-sided. disappointed.. i've always believed that to be friends, we have to
