This xkcd comic never failed to make me laugh :)

Have a Terrific Tuesday!

29 Mar 2010 Good news Monday!
 |  Category: my life  | Comments off

Joy is knowing that:
- the N97 of mine is fixed, and will be back with me soon!
- good news do happen on Monday!
- I can’t stop smiling, even through the bad things.

Ok, short of calling myself crazy, but I am feeling a lot of positive vibes and energy around me, fueling my hectic days. Been crashing to bed early sometimes, which is a good thing, giving me enough energy to face a new day. Also, I am learning how to leave work as it is in the office, than worrying about them outside the office. Does wonders to my well-being.

Through it all, learning to laugh at myself, is the best thing that could happen. Especially when I screw things up. :)

26 Mar 2010 Nothing much
 |  Category: my life  | Tags:  | Comments off

Nothing’s really happening to me except that work demands more overtime. I can’t say too much, just that I guess its part and parcel of working :)

Been pretty much writing and penning stuff in my little notebook on the move. Snapped a few photos here and there. Will sit down to get it done this weekend (hopefully).

This post is written so as not to let a cobweb formed.

A quick shout out to all the lovely people I met up with so far, SC, Eugene (when is the next time?)…. Thanks! Your company and laughter are always appreciated. Let’s meet up again soon :P

Of course, April’s coming, I am kinda anticipating his return, with mixed feelings. :X

24 Mar 2010 Foolish Games
 |  Category: my life  | Tags:  | Comments off

Foolish Games – Jewel

This song is currently stuck in my head, for no apparent reason… I guess I am drawn in by the piano in the song, and coupled with her vocals, I think its lovely.

Somehow, I miss singing this song. :P

20 Mar 2010 Working on Saturday

I am amazed I can be awake and back at work after beer and good music on Friday night at wala. It’s been a while since we met up for drinks… For some reason, it felt good to be back at Holland Village, or rather, back at Wala-wala… Thanks to SC backup plan :P

Blanc and Little Creatures Bright Ale is yummy… Just that I think my body was in no condition to stomach so much beer these days. It’s a good and bad thing. LOL :)

The rain didn’t dampen the mood to chill out, neither was the work that I am facing today. Evidence is writing a post here whilst waiting for the participants should tell you that I am early. (The shuttle bus services ain’t very regular with timings.).

Today shall be a wonderful time spent in the studio. Fingers crossed, all will turn out well. :)

Model: EX-S10
ISO: 50
Exposure: 1/60 sec
Aperture: 7.9
Focal Length: 6.3mm
Flash Used: Yes

Looking at this photo, I wish I could have zoomed in a little more instead of letting the surrounding sides distract the main focus of the picture… though I would have to add that in dimly lit conditions, I have no choice but to use Flash on food.

Herbal Prawns – Jumbo Seafood.

On top of that, this girl was too hungry to eat, but at the other’s half insistence, its a photo-worthy moment :P

17 Mar 2010 Day 2: Smile
 |  Category: my life  | Tags: ,  | Comments off

Just realize that its getting easier on my part to keep my spirits up, and a smile, no matter how the situation is. It’s a good thing though, I must admit, because my energy levels are kept constant, thoughts focused, and no time left to space out and day dream :P

On the second note, I’ve too much to write, and on top of my current schedule, it’s gonna be a while more before you see anything review-ish like postings and stuff like that. Meanwhile, still on my personal notes series. :P

Everyday is a new day, to walk it through, and know that you are being looked out for, wherever you are, whatever the circumstances are. :)

A random stranger made me smile, and not because of what he said, it’s just his way of giving way to ladies on public transport. :)

16 Mar 2010 The darkness is over.
 |  Category: my life  | Tags: ,  | One Comment

It feels good to be out of a uncomfortable bout of emo-ness, and that I would cringe at what I’ve tweeted the last week or so. I acknowledged I upset a few people, and that saying sorry would be useless if I don’t do something about it.

Only time can reveal, but one thing is that I will not allow myself to fall to such a low point again. I would channel my energies elsewhere and get something productive or meaningful done.

That being said, I have to thank a whole bunch of friends for being able to put up with my awful behavior, being supportive. You know who you are. :)

PS: There is more to life than just work~ :)

Another of Lady Gaga’s song – Alejandro.

Yet another catchy tune that’s been spinning quite frequently on the radio airwaves. :)

Okie, I just can’t help but groove to catchier songs… It allows me to keep my adrenaline up when I do work :)
