Lantern Festival

The below pictures were taken at Clarke Quay on friday night. Shicai and I went there to stroll and check out the atmosphere. Ha one of the few times I see so many children in Clarke Quay. Check out Shicai's blog to see his pictures.




Anyway since I have started work, guess my blog will focus more on my ramblings (other than my activities). Hm I will definitely rear a pet when I have a place of my own. Mainly because after 2 hamsters, I realised having a pet allows you to stop being so selfish; to stop worrying about your work, duties, stress etc and to bring your focus away from yourself and onto a being that needs your care... *doesn't apply to friends and bf* Friends are to hang out with and talk to and bf is your life long partner.

Getting back to the topic, it feels abit like having a child of your own. So in the past, whenever I was stressed out by my workload, FYP etc, I just had to attend to my hamster (including playing with it haha) and I kinda forget about my own worries and feelings. Hm its related to the thinking of: "Do you think you are that important? Your troubles are not The World. The world can live on even if you are not around. Compared to the infinite universe, your troubles and how you are feeling are nothing..."

Yeah so its like you are selfish to worry, stress or feel sorry for yourself while you have this animal to take care of. Anyway the stress will return again to you once you finish playing with the animal, but it seems less of a matter, of less importance to you. Hm basically, to end it off, I like having pets because I like the person I become when I have pets. Maybe its abit like being a social worker bah... Anyway no pets allowed in my house so we will see how in the future when I have a place of my own.

8 September 07

Hm... I didn't want to have a definitive title... so there it goes, the date as title. Anyway our dearest Yanling is going overseas to study Masters tomorrow! Bye Yanling! See you next year!

Started work this week. First 2.5 days orientation, then rest is start of work. Hm I won't write much about work as I do not want words to limit what I think... What I can say is that work is fine, not to worry ppl. Environment is interesting, and I'm getting along fine with my colleagues.

Well work attire is casual (no skirt! cleanroom attire is overalls so no skirt sigh). I finally bought myself a new pair of jeans since a year ago. Now I have 4 pairs of jeans to wear: 2 aged 4 yrs old, 1 Levis that I only wear sometimes as I haven't altered it yet and my new jeans. New jeans from Giordano and there's free alteration! Yay!

Well I would consider myself a middle spender, probably cos' I'm too lazy to try on tops. Somehow I can happily try on skirts but I have less interest in tops. This resulted in a skewed "graph" of my clothes. I have my happy selection of skirts, but its hard to match my tops to my bottoms. Many of my tops are at least 2 years old. Yeah so I do need to update my tops. Haha I do need to dredge up the feeling to shop for TOPS and pants... Yup pants too. Hm whatever lah, I will makedo with what I have.

Spent the day with Shicai. Went Katong to eat yummy lunch, then Parkway to walk. Thank you dear for accompanying me today. Rest your feet yoh...

NTU gang

Today I met up with my uni gang after a looonnnggg time (almost 2 months). Theme: Farewell gathering for Ms Yanling, who is going to France & Italy for a year for Masters. Place: Settlers cafe. Okay sorry gals if you all are not as pretty as reality in my photos (haha). I don't photoshop my photos :P (more like dunno how to).

Heres the star with the soft toy I gave her to cry on if she misses Singapore. Fish bought from Esplanade.

Gang of 5 gals, with other come and goes who didn't come. 2 studying Masters and rest working.

This week I bought my 1st MP3 player from Samsung at Comex exhibition. Infact it can be considered as a "couple" purchase as Shicai got the black coloured one. Hm.. lets see, we also have "couple" esprit orange umbrellas... :P
