I need to smell some flowers

Stop! Smell Some Flowers by Bug-a-Lug

I am so tired these days that I can hardly open my eyes. And the fact that my eyelids got bitten by mosquito just ain't helping. I feel like I can hardly breathe.

How I hope I can stop and smell some flowers...

Slow is the pace.
Swing is the mood.
Light is the atmosphere.
Fair is the weather.
Beautiful is the flowers.

Let's take 5mins and walk under the blue blue sky this weekend. Breathe.

Ding-Dong Bells and the White Gown

"??? Not to me!?!?"

"Really? You are joking, is it?"

"Oh to who?"

"??"

These are some of the replies I got after I sent out the sms aside from the phone calls that came in at the speed of light.

I admit, I am a little cheeky. I have been thinking about it for weeks to do it. And so I do yesterday. This was what I sent out:

"Hi friends! At 10.23am on this 23th Oct, I'll like to announce.

I'm getting married!

Send your congrats over!

RSVP the best seat for the wedding banquet with me now!

And well, of cos', I want a fat red packet."

Fret not, available-eligible hunks out there! I am very much available. *wink*

I was curious how people actually react to it. And I am feeling a little bored and tired after spending almost 75% of my time in office. It is something to perk my friends and I up after the long week!

Hardly anyone believe me when they saw the message. But the responses I got made me happy. And seriously, I feel loved, lots of love!!! Despite some non-chalant replies. Haa...

Thanks for all the well wishes, the congrats you guys send over!

Don't worry, I am not going to send out any message telling you that I am pregnant any time soon. As someone pointed out to me, I went on "maternity leave" mid this year when I was on 2 months leave. Ha... I think I may have a daughter somewhere.

Happy weekend!

Gratefully in love!

The past 2 weeks have been a mad rush. Sick, work and deadlines. But but but... Life needs injection of good company, food and lotsa love~

I love girls' night out! Catching up, random talks, gossiping. Well, just being there for each other, busking in the company feels good. No matter how old we are, how long we don't see each other, we love each other. Or at least, I love the girls!! =)

I caught myself thinking yesterday. As much as I grumble abt the imperfections of my life, I may be living a life that others are envy of. So, I decided I shall be grateful. Grateful of the people I meet, grateful of the companies I have, grateful that they are there for me.

So so so... I may have said this before. I LOVE YOU! You know who you are... Hahaha... And I offer kisses~ Just for you girls!

Summer Times

Where I stay is warm and sunny all year round. I love the sun and the blue blue sky. It makes me all cheery and chirpy to see the sky clear, no matter how hot it gets.

It feels a little funny how I start seeing some bloggers over at the other side of the globe saying that summer this year is coming to an end for them. I guess, they have nice memories that is tagged by the seasons - spring, summer, autumn, winter. What does summer means to them... Blooming flowers, sunshine, summer romance?

For a moment, I hope to see how the weather change as time past through them.

Monday Blues Made Bluer

I am imbalance and disturbed. It is either my laptop or a certain department out to pick on me. I get jittery and all when I cannot see videos. Trust me, you don't like when I get all crazy on the computer.

You may think I am silly. You may think I should not be doing this. But but but, I am just a small little fry who use the same lappy for work and pleasure, especially when the work life at its worst require you to face it 24/7. And my little hope and wish is just - let me use the lappy to see beautiful world outside of my little corner.

Feeling so unjustified, I sent out an email this morning that reads like this...

Hi dearest XXX,

I am upset. The work has been stressful and I seriously want to relax outside of office hours when I am in the comfort of my home.

However, recently, I noticed that I am not able to view _____ and any other websites that require Flash application!!! That includes just viewing some pictures on a nice hotel to book for the well-needed vacation!

The worst thing is, my peers and dearest colleagues all got to view it. BUT ME?! Why me... why why why... The question mark gets bigger by the day.

The fact that life is hard, work is hard and relaxing is made harder by the fact that I cannot view any nice videos online. It makes life suck worse.

Will you be so kind as to help me?

As I am currently at ____, I don't think that I can drop by IT dept anytime soon. Is there is faster solution that can solve it remotely? Please don't volunteer any solution that does not involve allowing me to view the videos online on my favourite office laptop.

I give you my greatest thanks in advance.

But I am hurt. No one responded to the email. My little wish and voice is ignored.

What should I do next?

Arh-arh, don't tell me I am wasting my time here. Wasting time only applies when it brings you no benefit, anything that make your life sucks. I am not wasting my time.

Arh-arh-arh, don't tell me that I am wasting your time. Time is mine and I do my thinking about this email outside of office hours. And making me happy, I do things doubly-hard for YOU!

See how it works...

Romancing the moments

(L to R) 1. The Holiday 2. The Proposal 3. Kate & Leopold

I have always been a sucker for romantic movies and novels. And I watched a couple over the past few weeks, old and new ones.

I like seeing how the people meet and fall in love, heads over heels for each other. How they miraculously seem perfect for each other. How they end up together happily ever after.

Despite the fact that I think its hard and have no idea if that perfect coincidence and the perfect one will ever appear for me and when exactly will it happen, I love the movies and storylines.

Maybe I am a romantic deep inside. Perhaps not so shallow the romantic factor, in me.

We celebrate the day an Auntie is born!

Our dear friend's birthday is just round the corner and we decided to do a little celebration at our Desk-For-Pretty-Ladies!!!

We made balloons and poppers, and SURPRISE PRESENT for her! All filled with best wishes, happiness and LOVE!

Happy early birthday, Auntie Sueying!!

Love ya, love ya!
