As promised, here's the continuation of the previous post:

I got up real early on Sunday morning for breakfast with my family and relatives. Joanne has been raving about the Bak Kut Teh at North Bridge Rd for the past 2 weeks and alas, we decided to try it on Sunday.

The coffee shop is located just opposite Central Mall at Clarke Quay. It is supposedly the long lost BKT that was previously located at Bugis, the one that we grew up feasting on. We ordered a table full of food.. ranging from BKT soup to salted veg to chicken feet to you tiao and peanuts. Of course, there were more. On the whole, i think the food was pretty good, or at least it's the best BKT i've tried so far. Although it's a far cry from how it used to taste previously, the taste was still pretty decent. I didn't managed to take any pictures though, was too busy eating.

The rest of the afternoon was spent eating and shopping with my sister and cousins. It has been a long while since i last saw Jolene, let alone go out with her. Was pleasantly surprised when she joined us for breakfast. We went down to Bugis cause Daddy had to collect his SIM card from Singtel. He lost his phone again in China and this is already the second time!

Dad and Uncle Joe were going for the F1 race that day so they had to leave early. They're always so lucky. Second time at the F1 race! They had previously attended the Shanghai race 1 or 2 years back with compliments from their client. Apparently, their client had bought 12 Grand Stand tickets which is a 3 day pass for a whopping $15,000+. The sad thing is that my Dad and Uncle didn't attend the practice and qualifying sessions because they were in China. SO wasted! Had i known earlier, i would have asked them to pass me the pass for the first 2 days..

Hrmmm.. anyway, it's over!
Oh Stupid Hamilton! I would have won my bet if he had came in 2nd. It's my first time watching the F1 race. I have never been interested in it until it was staged in Singapore. What made it more exciting was that i even placed a bet on the race! Haha. It was so thrilling watching Alonso win. I thought all hope was lost when he qualified with the slowest timing on Sat. Even so, i would have only won if Hamilton and Alonso were the top 2. Lousy luck! I am never lucky in gambling.

Anyway, below are just some pics from sunday.

Without the adults, we went shopping at Bugis Street and then pop by the basement to find some food. We ended up eating Yoshinoya and the following smuggled loot -
1)Famous Amos No Nut Chocolate Chip Cookies (300g)
2)Fishcake and beancurd skin from Fei Xiong (2 pieces each)
3)Fries with herb mayo from YellowFellas (Large Tray)
4)Chicken skin and chicken sticks from yakitori (Uncountable)







The foooood





My dad once said: "Looking at the way you all eat, daddy will go broke in time to come".

Caption of the day: 'Where has the chocolate chip gone?'

That is btw, Melamine Monmole.

Yet another weekend has passed.
Yes, it means i have just survived another week.

This weekend was spent almost entirely with my family except for a late night movie on sat with friends.
Decided to have our dinner at the airport since we were all going to pick our parents up. There wasn't much to choose from so we settled for POPEYE'S CHICKEN. I think it was pretty good actually. The fries are nice and the whipped potato tasted pretty decent too. In fact, It's almost exactly the same as KFC except that the Popeye's fries are waaay better!
Despite the decent food, we had to spend almost half an hour waiting for a table. The entire place was packed. Really PACKED. Everyone was just standing and loitering around the tables, hoping for someone to finish up and leave.
I think T3 has becomed a place for family outings during the weekends. Every inch of the terminal seems to be filled with crying infants, spoilt kids and half-deaf parents. A cacophony of wails, shouts and cackles could be heard everywhere.
And i thought airports were quiet places.

I guess it's pretty frustrating cause with the throng of crowd, it creates problems like insufficient parking spaces, long snaking queues for food, disturbances in supposedly peaceful environment and what not. I really don't enjoy the jostling and the noise.

That aside, i had a seemingly enjoyable dinner. Dinner was spent catching up on each others' working lives. It isn't easy for all the cousins to meet up these days now that everyone is working and bogged down by personal commitments. A cousins-only trip would be absolutely fun! I am really glad that i have such amazing cousins. Growing up together has certainly bonded us well. I can always remember the silly games that we played and i certainly won't forget how all of us grew up under the mahjong table.

Well anyway, the adults touched down close to 9pm.
They walked out with truckloads full of luggage, all looking satisfied with their buys. Complaining that they were hungry, we decided to stop by at the food court for some food and coffee.

Sunday was another day spent eating.. will continue with another post tomorrow.
Time for me to knock off now!

At times like this...
That's when i feel alone.

The world seems to be getting on fine even without me.
Is that why each inidividual is so insignificant?

"There's no one in this world that you cannot live without"
Makes sense doesn't it.
The sun still rises, time still slips by, life still goes on.
I guess all it really takes is time.

I'm not moving on.
It's so easy to say, "Ok, it's time for me to move on", but it's hard to go through with it.
I'm constantly surrounded by this emptiness.
One that fun and laughter can't fill, one that friends can't take away.
I just can't seem to break away from this empty feeling.
Life is just not fulfilling.

When will this facade of mine break.
I have no idea.
I might be able to keep it up for the next few weeks or it could simply break the very next day.
What will become of me then?

The past weeks have left me with alot to think about and to think of but i don't wish to think.
Thinking hurts. Remembering hurts. Missing hurts. Only sleeping doesn't.
Can't i just sleep my days away.. I used to have a reason to wake up to but not anymore.

Hopes are only for those who still believe in it.

Yes. Everyday ought to be like this..
I think i am feeling a little sunnier today. Hopefully it'll last [=

Perhaps i had a great night out yesterday with CW, JJ and Mary.
We had dinner at Sushi Tei followed by coffee at Pacific Coffee. Dinner was sumptuous.. with compliments from Junjie. Haha. I think people really do become a little atas when they start working. Maybe we can afford to pamper ourselves a little more since there's no need to really worry about money. It's like you control your own life, your own money and everything else. Feels good to have your own freedom really. But then again, there's always the problem of bills and 'funds management'.

I think there isn't much of a change for me actually. I still worry about money alot. Haha. I really should learn how to save more. There's so much that i want to save up for. Like:
1) My Austria Trip. I want to travel in Europe after my training is done. Germany, France and Spain sounds so yummy!
2) A new handphone. I'm eyeing a touch-screen phone
3) New sport. I'm thinking of golf. Or perhaps something more exciting?
4) A holiday. Probably just a short one to somewhere nearby.
When will a poor girl like me have enough to do all of the above?
Some day.. some day..

The past weeks haven't been easy but there have been a few who have been the nicest friends i could ever have.
So, thanks. For being my tissue, my ears, my entertainer and simply, my friend.

Just last night, we were talking about office and cubicles and stuff over dinner. No one has really seen my workspace..









I know, my room is messy.
But i'm a messy girl [=

I'm starting to wonder what am i hoping for..
Somehow there isn't anything that i can hope for anymore.

My heart gets more stoned with each passing day.
Maybe i'm getting stronger or maybe i'm losing the ability to feel.
Perhaps it's better like this - not being able to feel loved, feel hurt, feel sad, feel like everyday is so damn freaking hard to get by.
I wake up every morning not knowing what am i waking up for.

It hurts to know that i'm not over it.
It's so tiring living in pretense.
I'm so not ok but i have to act like i am.
I want to cry my heart out but i have to bite my lips.
I am not having fun but i have to laugh like everyone else.
I am the weakest girl in the entire world yet i have to pretend that i am strong.
I don't know when will i ever feel better but i have to lie that i'm better everyday.

I am not fighting anymore.
Why fight when the other person has given up.
Why fight for something that is so one-sided.
Why fight when what you do is futile.
I give up.

I am simply the heartless girl.

It's weird.
I don't feel all that sad and emotional now.
Maybe the feeling has yet to hit home.

I hate the way the days flew by so quickly this week.
Why does it have to be friday again and 19th September to be exact.

So, what's there in store for me next?
Lonely, mundane days ahead.
How did i even survived the past weeks.
And how do i survive the coming months.

i don't even want to think about it.

It has been 9 months since my last post..

So here i am again.
Ready for a new wave of posts!

Have just changed the design of my blog.
I like it.
Echoes the way i feel.
