Another of FIR's hits which I heard over the radio at work. I tink it's taken from their previous album. Gonna train hard to reach Faye's note so that I can sing dat during my KTV sessions! Here goes:-

******************************************************
天天夜夜- FIR
how do i live without you
i want to know
how do i breathe without you
if you ever go
how do i ever
ever survive
how do i how do i
oh how do i live

当你的手还握在我手中
没有一次
我还停留
说不出口的感动
当你的手还握在我手中
灿烂的笑容
不论过多久
都让我心动

每一天在你的怀里等待
每一次我感觉你的存在
不能重来
不愿离开
是永远都灿烂的爱

每一天在你的梦里等待
每一次我感觉你的存在
so how do i live
how do i live
how do i live
without you

当你的手还握在我手中
没有一次
我还放手
没有一次
停留
当你的手还握在我手中
灿烂的笑容
不论过多久
都让我心动

oh tell me now

how do i live without you
how do i breathe without you

I think sometimes Im a dreamer.

I'll like to wake up in the morning, go for a light jog or light paddle at the reservoir. Then haf my breakfast at a nearby kopitiam with my coffee and newspapers.

After which, I'll take a walk around the neighbourhood, looking at how kids whine at their parents, the old folks chatting away about the juicy neighbourhood news, breathe some fresh air.

Then, I'll return home to watch tv, shower and take a short break.

Afternoon will start with lunch date and followed by a little shopping to see the latest stuffs in town.

Maybe the night will be spent catching a movie, a nice sea view dinner and followed by a walk along Esplanade.

=)

My body is freaking aching. Tired from the canoe marathon yesterday. It was nt exactly a very good race for me but Im glad that I actually helped to rescue an NJ K1 from the waters. Many boats capped, even the T2s, especially when we were returning (against the wind) It felt like I've paddled a 100 strokes but Im still at the same spot. Haa. The feeling especially so when I was doing my last round.

The entire journey took me like 4 hours..my butt hurts. And while I was trying to fall asleep last night, I suddenly jumped up , having the feeling dat I capped. haha

In office with my new specs heh. I tink I look intellectual. Slept late last night and my eye bags look bad. Yesterday during the race, one of my frens actually said I slimmed down (woohoo!) but another said I look haggard. Damn. It's time for facial! haa

I've gotten my confirmation for teaching and have been "appointed to the educational sevice" (honoured! =))for a one yr teaching contract. But guess I would like to appeal, given some reasons dat I have. Let's hope it works.

Finally back home to haf a final mental prep for the canoe marathon tmr. It's gonna be my longest race haa. 28km! Guess my carbo-loading shld be sufficient cos I have been loading for the past 4 days! Forcing myself to finish my meals!

Today's been a long day for me. Paddled in Macritchie dis morning to get my body conditioned to the craft and all. Did only 6km thou but was already tired liao.

Den had to rush back to office. But as usual, my boss was late for like an hour plus.

After which, it was NTeam trg...

Long day.

Gonna cui tmr after the race. And datz it.

Ok Laptop Number 1: Acer

Just gotten discharged from Acer Service Center. Doctor has diagnosed that it has recovered. (Thk Goodness!)It's back home resting =)

Then come Laptop Number 2: Dell - the big and solid one which looks like it's got some substance.

Crashed yesterday after I tried to install the new Nike MSN theme pack. This morning, I sent it to the internal emergency ward for repairs and diagnosis. Doctor immediately gave CPR. However, it din survive and now requires a transplant of the hard disk. Doctor is now trying to recover the internal memory...

haa I went to read my past blogs..from end 2005 - early 2007.

Think sometimes I sound like a bitch. but guess at the moment where I am bitching, I din realise. Ok lah..and sometimes I find myself quite amusing =)Many things I "xiang bu tong" so I got stuck.. revolving around matters. Hope this year I'll learn to look at things from the big picture.

It's time to grow up ger..going to be 23 already (bleah)

Need to be more "wen zhong", not alwayz jumping around. I guess things happen for a reason. So just gonna tk things positively and live life.

Think I read this quote somewhere, that you look back at the mistakes u made, so that you learn from them but life has to be live forward. So Im gonna look forward =)

haha =) Once in a while, taking these kind of tests makes life a lil more interesting. Does it sound like me?

Your Birthdate: March 24

For you, love is a natural progression from friendship. You are almost always friends first.
In love, you are loyal, steady, and honest. You are not a cheater or even much of a flirt.
You are likely to stay friends with your ex... and open to rekindling something in the future.

Number of True Loves You'll Have: 4

Number of Times You'll Have Your Heart Broken: 1

You are most compatible with people born on the 6th, 15th, and 24th of the month.
What Does Your Birth Date Mean For Your Love Life?

SDBA is organizing this master series for all the DB clubs in SG to participate. Not exactly sure or convinced by their intention. But let's hope that it is for the good of the DB community and eventually to the benefit of us.

Quite glad to see the guys' team progressing under Mr Nasiman. They have a team made up of mostly new blood! Young and hopefully full of drive. So all the best to them!

Gillian's leaving and I bet I'll really miss having her around.

Working with her in the product team has not only been great but I've also learnt a lot from her, whether at work or as a person. Cried in front of her when we were in the meeting room, so she bought me chocoloates to cheer me up. A petite lady who alwaz wears a smile on her face. Not only is she a colleague but also a "big sister". Especially when I was really troubled the last one month.

Thks ger =) Will miss u



Gillian and I at TeaHouse. Think I looked really dark haha too tanned liao!



Group photo at Teahouse, China Sq Food Center. Noticed that all in the photo are ladies except for one! haa datz one of our engineers!

Anyway the dim sum there is worth a try! Din know Teahouse was part of the TungLok Group till we went there =)

heh. Arsenal won Man-U: 2-1 !! Yeahhh!!

At half time, Man-U was leading by 1-0..But honestly, I thot Arsenal's performance wasnt as good in the first half.

But at the second half, they managed to fight back! And scored 2goals! woohoo! One at the 83rd minute and another after that. Haa. Yong used to praise Arsenal for their fighting spirit back when we were in NJ. And "encouraged" us to learn their fighting spirit.

And for their win, I oso won myself 5 bucks! hahhaha =)

No matter how down a person is, as long as the will to fight back is strong, I believe they will get there =) Jia you!!

Was over in Penang attending my cousin's wedding over the new year. Yet to have time to upload the pictures that i've taken with my nieces.

Alright, so my family..officially we haf three gers. The oldest is ah-siew jie jie, the daughter of my second uncle (my dad's the 4th son). Den second is ah-qi jie jie, who's the daughter of my youngest uncle, who's the 5th son in the family. Both of them are married haha. I took photos with ah-siew jie jie's oldest daughter, who's like 13 years old already. She's got 2 other kids haha. Den I oso took photos with ah-qi jie jie's daughter who's like 3 year old. On my..dun I feel old!




This is ah-siew jie jie's oldest daughter. She's extremely chatty. I think she'll grow up to be a really bright lady. Thru out the entire wedding dinner, she was busy sms-ing her fren! haha 13 years old leh. "dun pray pray" But did heard from ah-siew jie jie dat the m'sia education system aint really beneficial to her in the long run. Hence, she has enrolled her in a Chinese school instead, for her secondary education.




This is ah-qi jie jie's daughter. She's a lil shy haha. Was like crying when I was trying to talk to her. till I took out my camera to tk a photo with her. heh..Den she started to smile =)

Oh well..these are my nieces =) Im an auntie! haha

Had an impromptu meet up with Caiyi and Shihui. Just chatted and browsed thru Shihui's photos when she was over in US for work and travel, as well as her company's D&D. Den we started talking bout travelling plans. Yeah =)

The food was good too! It was great meeting up with them and yeah we took picts!
And our last order was a bottle of white wine. Think it's actually my first time drinking white wine. Chardonnay aint too bad =)

My journey home was damn embarassing. Apparently I fell asleep on my way home. So i ended up getting down somewhere in Sengkang. But I only had like less than 7 bucks of cash with me. Hitched a cab and asked whether he accepted NETS or VISA, just in case my cash wasnt enough to get me home. But heng haha..The journey was only $5.55, including the midnight charge. I managed to get home yes..But haa. Im damn amused by myself. Falling asleep in NR.and I was almost lying down on the seat haha. (I was taking the last seat which was extended, as compared to the rest of the seats) When I woke up, I realised the guy sitting next to me was just staring at me lah...haha damn embarassing lah. haha ok..photo time.

The perfect song for the rainy day.

孙燕姿--同类

雨后的城市寂寞又狼狈
路边的座位它空着在等谁
我拉住时间它却不理会
有没有别人跟我一样很想被安慰
风停了又吹我忽然想起谁
天亮了又黑我过了好几岁
心暖了又灰世界
有时候孤单的很需要另一个同类
爱收了又给我们都不太完美
梦作了又碎我们有几次机会
去追
不晓得为什么爱又稀少又昂贵
云在半空中被微风剪碎
回忆也许美可是正在飞走对不对
啦啦...
天亮了又黑我过了好几岁

Part of the lyrics from Christina Arguilera's Beautiful.

Every day is so wonderful
And suddenly, i saw debris
Now and then, I get insecure
From all the pain, I'm so ashamed

I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down
So don't you bring me down today



11:12 PM

These 2 ladies can haf super long lunch break lor. haha we were there from 12plus till 3 plus! haha Arent they good? But they have a quota to meet thou. So that's the tough part! Had a good talk with them, regarding our lives after school, our working and love lives (But ok, Mine has just ended.) Thanks girls. I'll be good yeah =)

Went to Harbourfront after that...Thot since I have the time, I might as well go walk around and take a look at the much-talk-about new hangout for Singaporeans. I din finish walking the place. It was too big..and I was getting bored from walking alone too. haha. Din want company..just wanted to be alone. =)

突然那几秒 好像天使飞过
看著你微笑
那段时间都禁止
远远的注视
仿佛爱情就该如此
为所爱的人 在我心里留一个位置
虽然那前方模糊
可是想法清清楚楚
比所有人都渴望你能幸福
我站在你不远处 默默地为你祝福
把对你的爱藏起来 放你去寻找追逐
我站在爱的不远处 不在乎守候多辛苦
当你孤单时想起我 那是我最大的幸福

☆不远处的我在默默祝福☆
对你的期待 每段都有记载
每一个眼神 我都想要收藏起来
不害怕寂寞 不止一样没人明白
已经快忘了
当初迁就在这里等待

Ours wasnt dat sad. Just a hug and take care. =)

Kiss Goodbye
歌手:王力宏 专辑:盖世英雄

Baby不要再哭泣 这一幕多么熟悉
紧握着你的手彼此都舍不得分离
每一次想开口 但不如保持安静
给我一分钟专心 好好欣赏你的美

幸福搭配悲伤 痛是在我心交叉
挫折的眼泪不能测试爱的重量
付出的爱收不回 还欠你的我不能给
别把我心也带走去跟随

*每一次和你分开 深深地被你打败
每一次放弃你的温柔 痛苦难以释怀
每一次和你分开 每一次KissYouGoodbye
爱情的滋味此刻我终于最明白

幸福搭配悲伤 痛是在我心交叉
挫折的眼泪不能测试爱的重量
付出的爱收不回 但欠你的我不能给
我才明白爱最真实的滋味

Repeat Chorus *

我终于明白
Oh...
每一次和你分开 深深地被你打败
每一次放弃你的温柔 痛苦难以释怀
每一次和你分开 每一次KissYouGoodbye
爱情的滋味此刻我终于最明白

应该是KISS GOODBYE吧

And gonna do a T1 for the long distance race. arghh..lack of trg..

My new yr resolution - run 2.4 under 11min.

Just played badminton at lao shi's school. Woohoo..Can't remember the last time I actually played badminton. Fun but also tiring. Smacking the shuttlecock felt good.

And I just received my interview letter from MOE. But it isnt exactly what I wanted. They offered me primary Chinese. Does "Wu lao shi" sounds good? But i'll still prefer to teach secondary level and above. But just gonna go give it a try. The interview's pretty soon so I better start preparing for it.

Thinking of taking up tuition lobangs. Maybe just one or two to supplement my income so that I'll have enough money eventually to go for all my travel trips that I've planned.

Oh and I finally gotten my pay! Woohoo. Yeah time for a NANO. But I probably have to find time to go fix up my laptop. Ok so maybe next week on my interview day, I shld go get my laptop repaired as well.

And guess for driving, I'll just apply for school. The one @ Kovan looks good =) Will probably give it a try there.

Oh well and have decided to go for the canoeing marathon held on the 27th with Shihui. eh T2 ..gonna tk my "old life" haha but the distance covered is like 26 or 28km only, as compared to K2 which has to cover 36km and 5 times portege. Dun haf enough time to cover the mileage lah..keeping my fingers crossed dat the wind will be kind on that day so dat we dun haf to sweep for our dear lives. haa.

Oh well. Another day now..
