Beautiful Trio
There's a new TV serial on channel 8. The plot revolves 3 women, a young carefree couier girl who treats guys like cuisines, another a successful PR with the looks to kill for with a long queue of suitors and another a married career woman who believes in equality of the sexes. They are the independant woman who prove they don't need a man.. or do they?
I believe that people can be catagorised into 2 groups, one that needs to be in a relationship, another that think they're a waste of time & emotions. No doubts, I would fall into the earlier catagory. I dislike the feeling of lonliness. It's unbearable to me. I need to be surrounded with people, with action, with noise. I don't like being unloved. I want to be missed, be pampered, be loved,.. But sometimes I also blame myself for being weak in this way.
I hate the feeling that my relationship has the ability to affect me so easily. Making me appear and feel so weak. It's not that I want to be some independant woman who doesn't give two hoots about my guy either. So the key to it, *balance*. I wonder if Alexis ever feel that I need too much time with him. I know Alexis wouldn't mind more time for himself,(read my lips: sleep) I just don't like the feeling of coming home to an empty house and not knowing what to do. Before you jump to conclusion that I do not have friends, I do spend time with friends, but sometimes it's so much more relaxing to just be with my guy and do silly things, like play ji guo pak, stone or just enjoy each others company in silence.
Joy tells me that I don't have a life and I have a feeling that some are probably thinking the same as her. While I agree that my life is not the most colourful and most exciting, it's not too bad. Just wish that it's not always about me and Alexis all the time. Alexis needs to be more socialable. He prefers computers to people. Pengz. Haha.. He'll skin me if he reads this.
Shall spend more quality time on my own, which I tried to do today. I wanted to sign up for yoga classes but a pity that the time slots clash with my schedules. So with no yoga classes, I just headed home and did skipping. Tiring with a capital "T". Wobbly legs after that =P And now that I'm done with all that shall take a nice cool shower and pamper myself with a face mask :)

Got this email that informed me that I'm due for a confirmation review. That would mean that I've already been working for the past 6 months! That's not very long, but it sures feels like it. I've experienced so much and learnt so much. It's been pretty incredible. Had our share of new colleagues and colleagues leaving, frustrations, mad deadlines, disagreements with the boss, dept lunch in, struggles with so many tasks to do ( I can multi-task!)....
I gotta crack on brain on how to appraise myself. Like how egoistical is that? But that's how it works. I gotta appraise myself then my boss appriases me. What if she only grades me as "meets expectataion"? A grade below good? That will be pretty disappointing. Shall just see how it goes. After all, I know that I have given nothing lesser than my best.

American Idol and Beauty and the Beast
Man have you watched American Idol today? I rooting for all the blacks! They're SO GOOD! Latoya, Gorge, Jennifer and Fantasia. Oh gosh I lurve this show and I can't wait for the results tomorrow. I hope Ms Leah Labelle goes home man. I can't stand that odd slang of hers and I bet America would agree on that. Amy, and Camiel wouldn't stay long too. Anyway, Clay's gonna be on the show tomorrow too. Don't wanna miss it!
Oh and yes I'll be watching Disney on Ice tomorrow. Starring Beauty and the Beast.
Perfect excuse to leave the office earlier too. Been working late these few days that work is taking a toil on me mentally. Even though the boss is on leave, just feeling so restless. Morale has been low at work with one colleague announcing to quit :( and another one toying with the idea of quiting. They probably say it so many times since I joined the company but you just feel that the atmosphere is just different. There's a certain gloom to it

It rained today.. Correction. No it poured! Poured so hard, some places in the East experienced flooding. The weather makes me want to sleep at work. Been trying to kick the caffine habit but when without it especially on a rainy afternoon, can be a real challenge to keep awake.
Work has been pretty crazy. Boss getting cranky too. Suspected she's terribly stressed, which makes me stressed up as well. Suspect that I may have to work this Sat too, though it's my Sat off. Been raining so hard these few days, wonder if it will rain on Sat as well? If it does then I'll just curl up in bed and rest. I feel like I'm in need of LOTSA rest.

New Life
So exciting, my colleague is expecting! We went shopping for her maternity clothes and she was in disbelief at how HUGE maternity wear is. She was like, "Oh my gosh, I cant imagine myself being this big and fitting into it." And stuck her hands out as if supporting her invisible big tummy. I can't imagine that too. At least now. Sister Esther is also going to be giving birth soon too. Babies and more babies. So cute!!
Recently there were talks on the Parliment about the stork issue as well. But to encourage more babies is really more than throwing in financial incentives and 6 months maternity leave. Bringing up a child is a life time responsibility and for some, it really is a long time when the kid never seem to grow up. As it is, the younger generation is so outta control. I really can't imagine how things will be say another 5 to 10 yers down the road. Youngsters, and myself too, need to remember things like filial peity, respect for elders and authority, responsibility, committment, etc.... I feel that what the the younger generation need most in their growing years is love, acceptance and guidance. Living in Singapore, it's impossible to live on one salary. Both parents working and the child ends up feeling neglected and prefers to spend time outside the house mxing around with less than desirable company.
I'm making sweeping statements. Yes not all youths are like that even though circumstances have made them no different from the other youths. But some youths have a sense of responsibilty and know that as a child, as a student, what is their first priority. Good for these kids. My point about all these? It'sw more than money issue that prevents Singaporea from havings kids. Society is so much more complicated. To say that child raising is a challenge might be an understatement of the year.
I wonder if my parents were ever prepared for me?

Congratulations - you're the beautiful, caring
Charlotte York! You are truly a classic beauty
- you love timeless fashion, elegant homes, and
fairy-tale romances. Despite the cynicism of
your friends, you keep your chin up and your
heart open, and you truly believe in Prince
Charming - you're just not sure what shape he's
going to take.
Which 'Sex and the City' femme are you?
