in need of some rest...
5:35:00 PM
Buzzing & more buzzing in a whirlwind of activities, next week alone, 3 weddings.
Running frantically from one end to another with countless appointments stricken off my to-do list one by one.
This is usually the story of my lfe, one week busy the next lepak.
An ole friend's goin back to UK, wish i could fit into her luggage and stay in Essex with her. But then i'd have to leave my beautiful baby and mummy behind, so no go unless they can fit right into her suitcase as well :). Marina, sweetheart there's no way in hell i can postpone my wedding to November sOoOoo i'll say a lil prayer that you'll be able to take off work & come in May alrighdey. I promise you'll get the 3 'ahems' we were discussing. *LOL* Lurve you, take care & i really wana see you SOON, not in November 2005 !!!
Ole friends i've lost touch with million years ago are suddenly back in my life again. Married, back from overseas...they encompass the different places we are in our lives now. But somehow, amidst great chocolate and a late nite supper, we got into the groove.Just like ole times :).We laughed, traded stories bout 'kekentalan satu satu dulu' and surprise surprise discovered mutual distaste for certain parties.Heh.Well ,I'm thankful for this chance to get to know you gals all over again, gila ah korang especially si Ju & Nanie tau. ;p
Anyway, if you're wondering the reason behind the sad lack of recent visuals/pictures despite the updates ,gotta admit it's cuz of a lil sceptisicm after the hiatus to publish photos of myself or people in my personal circle in ere. I can't quite describe why. Quite possibly it's cuz I don't wish to be involved in this promenade of slagging or wat-nots so yeah, maybe when the time's right i might.
So,for the time being, it's just gonna be all words, words & of course more words.
Well it's Saturday & somebody's at work. *boo hoo* Was lookin forward to a quiet evening actually but wait!
Mummy needs company, Boy's cajoling me to go Sim Lim as well. Yes, get the CREATIVE for heaven's sake & quit buggin me. Unless you wanna get me one as well? *in anticipation*.Then, i'd spend my WHOLE Saturday evening with you. No qualms or groaning at all, i promise! Oh well.Like that's ever gonna happen.
* flips through CLeo while the time goes tick tock tick tock @ crawling ever soOo slooOoowly *
P.S.>>> Thanks Shir for inviting us to your house. It was WONDERFUL meeting you and your family.BLiss.If marriage's all that, heck i sure am lookin forward to it. :)
a coveted job...
4:30:00 PM
As anticipated.More & more shopping. A good 350 bucks just flew outta of our pockets and into the already thickly-lined ones of the Isetan conglomerate.However, no complaints there cuz it's all for a greater good. It's brilliant they have all these fantastic Christmas bargains with great packages et al.It just makes my shopping a whole load easier. So while being festooned with shimmering ribbons, brightly coloured boxes, i was captivated. Can S'poreans spend or wat huh? Of course the fiance and i included. Bet the salesperson was laughing all the way to the bank as well.Ok i'm exaggerating, maybe just a slight snigger. :)
Well the shopping was supposedly a salve to a recent disappointment. *pouts*
Just missed out on my dream job.A job i've been DYING...i'll repeat that again DYING to have since forever.Alas, i'm not in possession of the perennial pre- requisite degree. Have a good mind to knock on their doors to just gimme that ONE chance. It is sobering because NOW i understand the meaning and value of a good education BUT dampened my spirits it hasn't. Shall be back to get my dream job but this time, insya'allah it won't be because i don't have the qualifications.Hah!
But watching Alexander last night has ignited this desire to make a difference. Or have one's name marked in history. Imagine people talkin bout you hundreds of years from now. How akin is that to immortality? Gotta admit, i've always been dazzled by the idea of people whispering my name 100...500 years down the road.Wishful thinking eh? Honestly, though all that sounds suweettt et al, i'd be contented if my future children love me to death and tell their children nice things bout me. I think that would be enough.Truly.That's immortality as well i think. Just in a smaller scale.
* sits back while sipping Milo *
Bliss.
back for good? maybe...
11:34:00 AM
I'm back.
Albeit a lil reluctantly though cuz of several 'blog wars' i've stumbled upon during my absence. It has dawned upon me a LOT of people have a LOT of time on their hands to criticize, malign or sheldrake someone else.
Note the usage of 'sheldrake' which literally means ' pummelled duck'. Get it? Like being whacked left,right, centre and wherever a sweet,succulent spot's noticed.
&
of course unsurprisingly, they hide behind a facade. Hiding is dandy et all especially in this cyber age where you can lie about almost everything. But, if you're gonna say sumthin bout someone,don't be all surreptitous bout it.Have the balls to show who you are. Or at least that was what i was taught by my parents. DON't say sumthin unless it's good. If it isn't & it's gotta be said somehow, say it to the person's face.It's all bout the balls.And basic courtesy.
Funny.Hysterically at that.This a catfight worse than that of Posh & Naomi but then again, even they've made up.So what if the person wants to write about their weddings or love lives or pointless shopping sprees?
Errr, shopping's NEVER pointless, i take that back.
Bottomline,it's their prerogative.Or this ridiculous crap on who writes better or has the supposedly 'better' grasp of the English vocab. It all comes back to my original point of people having TOO much time. How did we get too caught up with blogging that we don't know what's real & important anymore? What's real? Starvin children in Africa.Aids afflicting a woman or child every 5 minutes in Thailand.Now that's real.Live & let live.Simply,to each his own. All grown ups but alas,still havin remnants of petulant behaviour left over from childhood.'Macam budak budak'.
Anyways,
thanks loads for all the concern & well-wishes during the hiatus.The break was sorely needed to attend to some tumultous personal stuff.But it's all good now. Alhamdullilah. Wedding frenzy is startin. As my uncle pointedly reminded
" You've got another 5 more months eh, Farah." *shrieks*.I need more time.Much much more.Note to those with TOO much time on their hands, could you guys like loan me some? lol. & my wallet's suddenly a lot lighter.I foresee more spending this December.Barang barang hantaran lain, nak belik katil lain. *sighs*.Pokai pokai!
5 weddings this month alone. Santa,i don't want a lot for Christmas,there is juz one thing i need and it's LOADS & LOADS of MOOLAH. :)
I'm back!
