my eyes slowly opened along with the long exhale of the warm air. trying to search for a living sound but besides my own breathing rhythm, it was drop dead silence. then I realized it's the blissful Sunday.
refusing to rise up yet, I cuddled myself in my cottony comforter while stretching my body. turned to my right and the digital clock was blinking 11:46 in its usual glowing green. took another long deep inhale with one final body stretching and had my feet landed on the cold marble floor.
freshened up, dabbed some moisturizing essence onto my dry skin and made my bed. mind blank, thinking what now? alrite, decided to make myself my all time favorite breakfast. more like a brunch. nutty cereal with dried apricots and soy milk along with a glass of pomegranate juice. loving every munch of it.
back to my freshly spring-cleaned room with a satisfying feeling. I docked my iPhone and selected 'my beach breeze' playlist. while the tune was playing, I jumped onto my ever comfy bed again. perhaps, the perfect mood to continue 'the gift of rain'.
afternoon nap crept in without me realizing it. felt asleep with the pages between my fingers and melody playing in the background. the evening heat started to bother me. again, another glance at the clock and it was already blinking 17:56.
what a nice day in my little room. looked outside and the sky was already pitch dark. time for a heartful dinner, I thought. but all I could desire for was simply a cup of steaming coffee. headed to our regular Plan B to satisfy my craving. ordered a duck confit ciabatta and a double shot latte for her, Moroccan lamb meatballs spaghetti and apple mint for him and a classic Caesar salad for sharing. never felt so satisfying over a dinner for quite a while. pleasant food, nice atmosphere and great friend. what more can I ask.
back in my tiny room with lappie lying together with me on my bed. typing away on my blog and wishing if only everyday is a Sunday. then life will be so much simpler and happier. now, here’s to end my blissful Sunday... nite...

too fast and furious
November past fast, so fast yet so many things happened…
handover at work was ok, not smooth. but hey, with that lady bossing around and not helping in any situations, nothing will ever get solved... so I count this as a blessing though. farewell was hard. I was so emotional getting farewell wishes from clients, all my lovely comrades (those in Singapore and especially those here) and the ultimate, mr Donald, my love and hate boss. thanks for everything through this six and half years and as what Donald said, it’s not an end but a new beginning.
life is always full of shits. ugly things happened back at Maluri house. this time was definitely not the day in day out quarrel. I really couldn’t cope with it that's why I decided a hideaway. I don’t know if all these were arranged by the One up there. it was just a week before this that I bumped back into Danny and when this shit happened, the first person that I thought I could run to is him. well, it’s been 5 years ago and we both definitely have changed. so don’t judge me.
it has only been 4 days that I’m out of work but I’m a bit exhausted already. decided to move back to Maluri house for my take-a-break month. things are still not ok and I hate everything about it but I just gotta be selfish and not care about anything else but to enjoy what I’m blessed with now. for the first 2 days, I was occupied with the long delayed wardrobe spring clean and laundry. then followed by a so called celebration clubbing for me, haven’t been drinking that much of a booze and dance like no tomorrow on my heels long long time… but I enjoyed very much. thanks guys, thanks Danny… for unleashing me :)
definitely December will be another fast one but let’s forget about the furious and enjoy the moment…

it’s finally official!
I thought I will feel great once I resigned but not really. there was this mix feeling inside me. a little bit of relieve and a little bit of feeling bad and sad as if I’m ditching my comrades back at the battlefield.
but as days went by, the ease feeling started to settle in. the stress, pressure and burden at work are getting out of my way... like what Jen said, slowly but surely...
I am now so looking forward to December! after almost 7.5 years of working, I finally get my long deserving break. a break that I have zero to-do-list, zero stress, zero thinking but just purely all about me, myself and I, purely relaxing, pure do-what-I-like-to-do at my own leisure of time.
with the year end and holiday season kicking in during December, it makes my break even more meaningful... it's gonna be a wholesome pleasure!
now, allow me to announce that I’m officially no longer a fairy in the magicland! hooray! celebrate good time, come on...

it’s a great October!
cheers to OC-TO-BER! for the obvious reason being it’s the Octoberfest! burp... having the most Kilkenny within a month in my life and loving the smooth Irish cream ale more and more...
alright, definitely that’s not just all about Octoberfest. I finally found a new job. although it’s not the ideal job that I have on mind but it’s not easy for me to make this decision either. I’m going to take on this new challenge this coming new year and hope things will go as I plan.
what comes next after work? holiday! yes, Jen had just confirmed that she’s on for our Hong Kong trip this coming March. woohoo... I miss holidaying with you, gal...
and a big congrats to the Chi team for pulling it through to top 10. all the weekends’ trainings under the sun and rain finally paid off. and I’m glad that I’m there to enjoy the moment. you guys will definitely do better next year...
happy October!

wave the rainbow flag
Jimmy was in town last Friday and supposed to spend his weekend here until our Monday installation in Petrosains. and so happen it was his birthday last Saturday, so I couldn’t be possibly leaving him alone on his birthday. I’m glad that he enjoyed our company too.
he has always been my favourite producer in the house. he has all the patience and knowledge and the best is he’s fun to hang out with even while during the stressful working hour.
in fact, he’s my one and only gay friend that I’m close to. from sharing daily issues to sexual jokes. I never once feel uncomfortable with him. he’s caring, gentleman, understanding, always willing to listen, protective, down to earth and yet bitchy at certain extend. oh, did i forget to mention that he’s good looking too...
every time hanging out with him left me thinking why does he have to be gay? if only he’s straight and he’s my boyfriend, I’ll be the happiest woman on earth. he just understands woman like no other man does. well, at least I have not found any yet.
but (unfortunately for me) he has found himself a perfect match in his life and I’m happy that he did.
all I can say is love recognize no gender and let’s keep the rainbow flag waving...
