过去现在未来 With such a title, you would have guessed this is a nostalgia piece. And yes, you’re right. Past.Present.Future. I was reading a group blog that I was part of some years ago and realised how I have forgotten certain things that happened during that period of time. How young we were, the signs of  bigger things to come, the fun we had and the friendship we shared. Forgotten are the times we spent together, the things we did and even those words I typed or comments I made. Reading it now, it just seems like 4 very happy young people living the time of their lives. Unfortunately, this friendship was not meant to be. 4 people, split 3 ways. It is always a pity to lose friends, whether to time or to illnesses or just simply because people drift away from each other…. The shameful thing is we will never be able to be such close friends again. The consolation is the blog is still there. No one seems to have thought of deleting it or actually deleted it, although certain contents were long removed. I wonder if this is what is all left of the many years of friendship? Or maybe, it is the best thing to have come out of it and the best residual of the once glory days. ### Recently, the man was clearing his room to make space for a new piece of furniture. While packing, he came across many nostalgic stuff, old letters, autograph books, notes passed in class, old photos, birthday cards and travel mementos. He kept some, threw most of them away. When he did that, my reaction was- 你舍得啊？！ He calmly answered - 那你能够收多久？ That got me thinking. I thought about the huge pile of birthday/new year/christmas and all sort of cards that I have kept over the years, the letters from pen pals and friends, the origami stars, birthday cake candles for almost every year since I was 15, silly gifts and mementos…… A lot of stuff! So I went through some of it one night and decided that maybe I should throw them all away too. No point keeping so many things… I ended up reading some of the cards and letters. And I sorted them out into two piles - One for keeping, the other for discarding. Then I realised, it is a tiring process and I still had so much to go through. I ended up putting everything back where it belonged and told myself that I would go through them again another day. 改天才收拾。。。 Then I began to think - if I throw all these cards and letters away, what is left to remind me of the past? Memories fade and are not as reliable as solid hard mementos. How can we immortalise these reminders of how we have lived, the people we were once close to and the things we have went through? A big dilemma! No, I don’t wanna keep them for me to reminisce the past, I think it is more of keeping them to make my life seem more wholesome - in the sense, all parts of the jigsaw in place. Silly right? But I think when the time comes for me to move out, I will go through everything carefully again, keep some close and the rest shall only live in my mind or relive them at that moment and move on. Besides, I have a great future to look forward to and more mementos to keep from the future, so need to make way! ### Bimbo in…. Business Talk Hurr, I have no idea really. Shucks. Me and my ex-bf Oh yes, it is official, he is no longer my boyfriend. … … … … … … … … … We are engaged. Ha… A romantic trip to Banyan Tree Bintan, a surprise rain mist spa treatment and a candle night dinner on the beach….I cannot ask for more… Thank you my love, I look forward to spending the rest of my life with you. The entrance of the villa to a small patio then another door to the villa. Words cannot describe how much I appreciate the man for all that he has done to make our proposal so special. The staff at the resort were also very discreet.. They were coming up with all kinds of excuses to speak to the man in private. First when we arrived for check in, the staff ask him for his credit card pin. I was like ‘huh?’ for a moment, but then I remembered that one of my credit card also requires a pin for certain transaction so I didn’t think much. The gorgeous room and bed. I like! :) Then when we are back in the villa, the phone kept ringing… And I thought it was suppose to be a private and discreet resort. Ha. Was a wee bit irritated… The man picked up all the calls diligently and when I asked him about it, he simply said they were trying to promote their spa and dinner packages. And I actually believed him. Ha. Come to think about it, I was kind of dense not to realise it, but hey, all the better for the surprise to be successful. View from the villa. Peaceful.... Spa for two... The furnishings are luxurious. After chilling for a while, we decided to go for a walk around the resort. He called for a buggy and suggested to we go and check out the spa… We were brought to a spa villa instead of the main reception, I thought it was funny but perhaps it was how they do it there. Once inside the villa, the spa therapist came and greeted us with “Good afternoon Mr Lim, your spa treatment for today…..” That was when I turned and looked at the man smiling sheepishly. He had booked a package without my knowledge. Ha… Mission A successful. I was quite famished after the treatment and decided to go for dinner…. Another buggy came to pick us up from the spa and I thought we were going to the resort restaurant. It was quite a long ride and before I knew it, I saw the hotel sign, which means that we are out of the resort… I looked at the man again and he had that mischievous look on his face… We drove across the golf course and arrive at the beach. That is when I realised that we are having dinner on the beach. There was a nice set up on the beach with a day bed and candle light and white sashes hanging from a frame, very romantic can. Ha. The waves were crashing on the beach and it was windy and all… Lovely! Misson B successful too! Dinner by the beach. Was a very windy night with lots of stars in the sky Heh, self portrait is a must... And then of course, there is the all important Mission C. Before dinner was served, the man gave me a present - a portable speaker. He plugged it into his iPhone and we played some music… The music playing throughout dinner were all my favourite songs, the sappy, romantic kind and those jazzy, smooth ones…. I was thinking that it was such a coincidence… Ha. Dense me…. He had prepared everything. After a delicious dinner, he said he had one last surprise for me. Asked me to close my eyes and I felt him getting up from the day bed. I was thinking it must be a gigantic bouquet of flowers. He reappeared by my side and when I opened my eyes, he was standing there with a tray. (Elaine’s mind: More food?!) Then he knelt down. And everything became crystal clear. There was a photo of us in a frame, a beautiful stalk of rose and THE box in a hollow frame. He asked, I said yes. And the rest, they say, is history. Thank you my love. I am indeed blessed to have you. Success! A sweet proposal by the beach under the stars.. I can't ask for more. Closer look at the ring - princess cut stone and a milgrain ring... Perfect fit. The man is good. No longer alone in this big big world. :) sleep is more important This says it all…. beating the snooze monster is hard work...... Resolesson #3 - Stay happy and contented In life, we are always comparing. Whether it’s grades, salary or even height. It is a never ending cycle, and the more we compare, the more depressed we are. In all I do, I have always reminded myself to stay grounded and be happy with what I have. And I do have much to be happy about, a caring family, understanding friends, a loving partner, a job and a roof over my head. But at times, I slipped. And you cannot help but compare. That makes you kind of depressed and easily irked. And in the process of narrowing the gap between the so called better alternative, you may lose yourself and what you really believe in. But honestly, the gap can only get bigger. So, from today onwards, my glass is always half full and full of potential. Half full, not half empty 女人很麻烦 @ a bus stop along serangoon road after my piano class Me: (talking about shoes and heels and flats whatsoever and how my knee seems to be suffering from rheumatism) BF: 女人很麻烦。 Me: 麻烦，可是你们爱嘛。。。 BF: (stunned) 当然，超爱！ Hahaha. I think he was coerced into saying it. Wahaha. Didn’t want me to nag further. Love random moments like these. Resolesson #2 - Don’t wear super high heels for consecutive days Just a few more days into the new year, I have learned another important lesson. And it is a painful one without any doubt. I think many girls are guilty of this as well…. Don't kid yourself. Your feet will hurt. Yes, no matter how comfortable those heels seem at first, they all become your biggest nemesis at the end of the day. Especially so when you have to walk around in them. The bf  laments that he cannot understand women’s love-hate relationship with our shoes. To be honest, I don’t understand either. Ha. It is like you know for sure those shoes are going to strain your feet after a long day, but you just want to wear them anyway. You would think that we would become smarter the next time round and not wear it again (at least not for long periods), but you’ll be damn - because I would gladly wear them out again and suffer from bruise feet once again. So I have resort to categorizing my shoes. Cat 1 - Shoes for everyday wear: Birkenstock slippers, pumps/flats and flip flops Cat 2 - Fancy shoes, but able to wear for long periods: Kitten heels, one to two inch heels and non-pointed shoes Cat 3 - Feet killers, wear to sit-down events only and then immediately back home in a taxi: everything pointed, extremely pointed, 3 inches and above. Sometimes I also dun understand why we women go through such pain to look nice. Sigh. But hey, give me a pair of Louboutin (like those in the picture above) any day and I will gladly bear with the pain…. Resolesson #1 - Don’t paint my nails before bedtime Okay, so it is tradition to start off the new year with resolutions and so I should do so too ya? And instead of compiling a list from the beginning of the year, I shall write them down as they happen (or never happen). They shall be called Resolessons. Ha. Lame but who cares. So here goes Don’t paint my nails before bedtime (Image source: Getty Images) I do that all the time. It happened again this morning in fact. I don’t know why but I always seem to have the urge to paint my nails in the middle of the night. And usually 1-2 hours before bedtime. And as all girls should know, nail varnish takes a loooooong time to dry, even the quick drying ones. But usually at the end of an intensive mani/pedicure session, I would be dead tired and can’t wait for them to dry thoroughly. I mean, I look kind of silly holding my fingers up to the fan also. And so i have to go to bed, when they are kind of dry, at least in my opinion and at least on the surface. So I go to bed. Trying hard not to squish my fingers. Pulled up my blanket with my finger tips. So far so good. Then I put my hands flat on my chest and told my fingers, “Stay there tonight. Don’t move.” But you know what is going to happen anyway. Instead of smooth varnished nails, you wake up to bumpy ones, like the texture of a towel. And obviously, you can’t let them see the light of day or be caught with such ‘textured’ nails. So I sacrificed my morning newspaper reading time to clean them off. You waste your nail polish and your remover and your cotton pads and your sense of smell. The smell of the nail polish remover isn’t the best scent in the morning. Blame it on my stupidity. Once again, repeat after me Don’t paint your nails before bedtime (and ruined them with fabric marks and spend the morning cleaning them off). Before I go, let’s learn some chinese. This is hilarious, can!!!! Mid week mid week mid week mid week! 2009 as presented in FB status Yea, the status updates on Facebook really does reflect my year, kindda. my year as presented in FB status updates Proj Bear has since been completed. And the man has bought a frame for me from Ikea. For once I am going display my cross stitch properly. For the past 8 years, I have been telling myself to complete the pattern every other day but to no avail. Definitely glad that I have managed to follow through my resolution and finished it before 2010. I think it goes to show, it doesn’t matter how slow you go as long as you do not stop. Things happen, you just have to be patient and do whatever necessary. This will be my guiding principle for 2010. Working towards a betttttter future. Happy New Year! 01.01.10 Proj Bear Yeah! I’m done, in the nick of time. Bears galore. Finally. Sigh~ Need to grab a frame from Ikea! Wonder where this will end up next year this time…. Happy New Year everyone!

Project Bear and SEA games How often do you see Singapore at the top of the medal tally for sporting events? Not often. Must capture the moment! SG right on top, thanks to the swimmers. [Source: Channel News Asia website and…… 20 DAYS LEFT for Project Bear! Proj Bear 24 days left and Bistro 103 Okay, photos speak louder than words. I am making progress, slow but steady. But looks like I really have to bring my stitching along for my road trip to Melaka this Christmas. Okay, I am 3/4 done for the background! Hurray! Hello bears! Weekend Rendezvous The weekend was a peaceful one rather than happening. With Hui and Rayner, we checked out a restaurant along Pasir Panjang Road - Bistro One Zero Three. Thanks to the man’s recommendation. Heh, he is quite the foodie. It was a little remote, and is right beside the relatively well known Manhill Restaurant. From the outside, the place look quite 不起眼, but the interiors were really homely and the Christmas deco puts you right in the mood. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a shot of the store front and interior. But here are the fooooooood pics! My order of Pan Fried Norwegian Salmon. The salmon was really fresh and tasted real sweet. The sauce was kind of tangy which makes it a perfect complement to the fish. Yums! My man ordered Asiatic Clams Spaghetti in aglio olio style. The clams were really fresh too and tasted 'like the sea'. The best part was the pasta itself was infused with the taste of the clams and mushrooms - making the whole dish really flavourful. Hui's dish of Crispy Duck Leg. Crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. Double Yums! Rayner's order of Crab Meat and Salmon Pasta with Red Pesto Sauce. He polished it right off, must have been delicious as well! Desserts!!! We ordered the Warm Chocolate Brownie with French Vanilla Ice-cream and a Mocha Panna Cotta. I think I have never enjoyed chocolate so much! Ha. The panna cotta was delicious - I expected it to be real sweet but it was... simply delicious. Ha. We spent about $25 dollars each with drinks and considering the quality of the food, this is money well spent! Would definitely recommend this place to everyone. We are even thinking of organising a proper Christmas dinner there as well! Oh yes, being Italian cuisine, the place has a quite a variety of wine as well. Perfect for those who like to pair their food with alcohol. And the best part is the owners are friendly and the place simply exudes a cosy atmosphere. You just don’t feel like leaving. And all this puts me in such a Christmas mood that I have to do this! Entertainment in between sewing What’s better than surfing the net in between sewing?! And here are some cool webbies on my must visit list. Images taken from the respective websites. No. 1 - The Oatmeal Silly comics and quizzes. Bound to trigger a giggle or two. They have things like…. How to use an apostrophe How Twilight works How a web designer goes straight to hell How different age group celebrate Halloween Worth a read anyhow! No. 2 - Not Cot This is  a collection of interesting websites and articles of all things creative. I can spend a long time on this site! No. 3 - My milk toof Another cute website about two milk teeth. Heh. Cute story lines! No. 4  - The Satorialist A website to look and be jealous of all those beautiful people and clothes. Good inspiration for your own wardrobe too. ____________________________________________ Enjoy! Happening weekend ahead! Yes, that include sewing as well of course. The bf just reminded me that it is already December! Shucks. 27 Days til the end of the year! Proj Bear day 19 and other rantings Here’s the progress… Amazing right - six days and only one small portion completed. Shucks. Overall look of the pattern Closer look. Yes, the bottom portion is still not completed. :( And now, I want to rant. Remember this article from HDB? Wow, good article, my head. (Source: The Straits Times) According to the article, 8 out of 10 people would get their flats on their 1st try and 96% on their second. Rubbish! Unfortunately, the bf and I are always in the far end of the percentile. After TWO BTOs and ONE sale of remaining flat applications, we are still waiting. And mind you, our number usually far exceeds the number of flats on offer and is usually at the tail end. Where got ‘choosy-ness’ to talk aboout??? RUBBISH! My colleague tried balloting for BTO projects for at least 4 times. And he didn’t get anything either.  My bf’s friend tried for 10 times and his number always exceeds the number of flats available. These are real people, real cases. So, please tell me HDB, what in heavens name is happening and how do you determine your statistics? And then there is this other article recently where some guy up there was saying that couples usually only ballot for flats slightly before they get married, like 1 to 1.5years before. And it takes a long time for the flats to be built, so people should plan earlier and ballot earlier - and do not complain that flats don’t come fast enough. HELLO?! Does it even make sense? What if you only met your partner recently and decided to get married? You want people to wait five years??!!! or 10??!! Not everyone marry their high school sweet heart. Get a grip man! Okay. enough. Now, I just need to make $$ fall from the sky to get private property. Proj Bear Day 12 to 18 Just when you are thinking that I have shoved Proj Bear in to the deep end of the drawer…… Hey, I did sew over the past six days ya. Just have been on leave and since it was the long weekend, I didn’t blog.  And, I didn’t managed to upload the photos yet. But do not be disappointed with me, I shall amaze you with my progress and updates of the weekend activities soon. Here’s a piece of news to share with all. This man has found the answer to - If your wife/husband and son/mother fell into the river, who would you save first? From Yahoo! news. NZ man caught by river rescue dilemma WELLINGTON, New Zealand – As his wife floundered screaming for help in murky river water, a frantic New Zealand man was forced to abandon a bid to rescue his teenage son to save his partner from drowning, he said Monday. Stacy Horton saved his wife, Vanessa, 35, as their son Silva, 13, drowned in the Whanganui River on North Island after her car plunged into the river late Saturday. Horton said he arrived at the crash scene less than two minutes after the accident to hear his wife screaming in the darkness and to see his son’s friend and the family dog scrambling up the bank. His son Silva was trapped inside the submerged station wagon. He tried to dive down to the vehicle, which was nose down but with the tail lights burning more than 3 feet (1 meter) below the surface, he told the Dominion Post newspaper. “I tried to get down and get him but I couldn’t — it was just too deep. And Vanessa was going under,” Horton told the newspaper. “I made a call to pull my wife to safety. I looked back and I could see the tail lights but it was too far and I couldn’t get him,” he said. “Instead of going down and risking my life as well as my wife and son’s, I chose to take V(anessa) back and sat on the shore praying. It was all I could do,” a distraught Horton said. Police and fire officers also were unable to rescue the boy from inside the vehicle. Mid-Central police spokeswoman Kim Perks said Monday it was a very tough call for Horton. “I would certainly not have wanted to be in his shoes.” Senior fire station officer Gary Wilson said the water was dark and murky and firefighters struggled in vain to reach the car. “We tried everything but to no avail,” Wilson said. Divers recovered the boy’s body on Sunday. Proj Bear Day 10/11 and everything else Yea! after some pretty intensive stitching, I am proud to say that I have finished the main pattern. Cheerios! Looks like I will be on schedule. Sunday evenings have become rendezvous nights with the bestie and her bf ever since they got their car. We are always looking for somewhere interesting to go, and this weekend was to Katong… Our finds - A thin crust pizza place on the first floor of a condominium and new place - Everything with Fries - same owners for Awfully Chocolate. Looks like they like to choose Katong for their debut stores… Here’s the visual spread. Have a good week ahead! stitch stitch stitch. Never been so discipline before. Lunch with lumiere - Mary Kafe Lunching with the office people is a fun affair! Yesterday, we went to Mary Kafe for some home cooked Eurasian/Peranakan food. Sedap! Proj Bear Day 8/9 So I was on leave yesterday from work. The purpose was to apply for a Burmese visa for a trip next year.. But turns out we needed more documents than what is stated in the website. Sobs. Have to go back again. Spent the day nua-ing around…. and it was a terrific weather to sleep in. If only everyday was like yesterday. Stitching photos. and photos of my other random, rather unaccomplished hobby - crochet. Happy weekend! This weekend would be intensive stitching (I hope). I realised that I have only much of the background to finish… Then the back stitches. Still sounds like a feat! Proj Bear Day 7 I sewed till 12.30am last night. But the progress is still like awfully slow! Top left flower still missing a petal.. Shucks Not sure if it is visible, but there are stitches in white and ivory. Challenge to my seriously myopic eyes. I went to dig out of the past cross stitch projects I have done, and managed to find this two at 1am in the morning. Ha. Another bear. Love the vibrant colours This is a handphone charm.. Cute right? This was easy and quick to make. The back of the handphone charm. This is the cross stitch I wanna do! But gotta finish the bears first. Also had my piano lesson yesterday… Spent the week trying to finish seven pages of theory homework,.. It is quite a feat, given my limited talent and limited time. Part of my 7-page homework for last week My cute piano teacher gave me a star for completing 7-pages of theory homework. Haha. We had a good laugh about it. My teacher also gave me stickers. Gosh. So this is it for today. Just keep stitching! Will show you my other hobby in the following post! Ha, I am a restless kid, need lots of activities to keep me going. Take care! Proj Bear 3/4/5/6 Okay, so I digress, I must confess. The weekend was spent on many leisurely activities except sewing. To my credit, I did do a tiny weeny bit on Friday night. The BF can attest to that. Posting photo would be useless, as the stitches are barely visible. What?! It was a white thread! 43 days to the end of the year. Shucks. I better finish it fast! On another note, I went for a play on Sunday afternoon at the Necessary Stage. Credits to The Necessary Stage. Synopsis from the Necessary Stage A Singaporean woman and a Russian man fall in love. Where do they settle down? Two lonely women form a deep bond. What happens when tragedy strikes? A dying man and his confidant exchange stories of love and sacrifice. What is it like to be caught in a rut when the world around you is moving at such high speed? The play is a collaboration between the local theatre company and Russia’s KnAM Theatre. They were featured in one of my company’s publication and so I decided to go and watch the show. Before the show and judging from the synopsis, I would think that it would be a very straight forward play, just physical props, typical backdrops/settings and simple soundtracks. Lo and behold, I was wrong! There were projections, sound effects, light boxes, and of course, fantastic actors. I especially liked how two characters were behind a translucent screen which was also used as the projecting screen. So it was almost like they were from another realm looking down on the other characters. One of the characters behind the screen also had projector on his head, screening the same thing projected on to the same screen. Makes it a lot more interesting. They made use of loudhailers in the production too. And being a small space The Necessary Stage black box is, you can say that the effect was overtly dramatic. I was really impressed. I could go on and on and on…. The storyline, was, in my opinion, thought provoking and gives the audience a lot of room to imagine and decide what the production signify. So good for people who love to day dream and think about all sorts of things and bad for those who need to see a definite beginning and end. Cheerios to local theatre. And more to come for me this December! Proj Bear day 2 *Updated! So I did some stitching. But it is so tiring yet enjoyable. I realised how geeky this all is going to be, but I am going to continue updating anyway. Ha. I have transformed my piano music stand into a stand for my cross stitch pattern, complete with clothes peg to hold it up. My piano bench has become a make shift coffee table to put all the threads and stuff. Poor YDR-140, you’re turning into a table. Hope I won’t scratch the surface. Some distractions from stitching….. Random photos from events recently… Proj Bear Day 1 So as per my previous post, I have decided to revive my really old cross stitch and complete it before the end of the year. Why all of a sudden enthusiasm? Because I want to start on a new pattern, and I feel totally odd if I do not complete this first. Yes, I know, I am a freak. Ha. This is how it looks like now. Click for a bigger image. This is no simple project really. If you look closely enough, you would see the paw alone has at least 3 colours. Honestly, I am very close to completion, just another flower here, some alphabets and the entire background. Good luck to me. If I complete it before 31st December, I will pop a bottle of champagne, or sparkling juice maybe. If I don’t, well, I don’t know what to do if I don’t. Please suggest penalties. Thank you. Can’t talk anymore, need to start stitching! Project Bear My resolution before the year ends FINISH MY EIGHT YEAR OLD CROSS STITCH PROJECT! more details to come. The thing about Facebook My good friend made a comment about Facebook today “I can hardly bear to look at FB but yet, I can’t help but surf FB.” I totally understand what she means. You see updates about holidays to far away places, dinners at fancy restaurants, romantic videos about couples getting married and the coolest things people are doing at work. Makes you feel inadequate and envious after going through pages and pages of such updates. But yet, you feel like you need know about what is happening in your ‘friends’ life. Oh, so he went to that country. He’s dating her and she got married already? Or, that wasn’t how I remember her to be etc etc etc…. Facebook, and even any other social network websites, has become more than just a website for staying in contact with your friends - it has become a platform for people to flaunt their lifestyles and tell the world how lucky or unfortunate they are, whether or not it is true or otherwise. It has also become a platform to form judgments or impressions about people – which may not be necessary reflective as well. This person must be rich to be traveling every other month (败家子), that person is always seen taking photo with a different guy (wanton) and check out those racy videos this person is posting again (pervert)… Our personality is twisted – because of our online persona and how people judge us according to our profile. Our self-worth is warped – because of what we presume other have while we don’t. All because we have more access to each other’s life via a website. This blog is so outdated Yes, indeed. Cannot seem to find the time to update at all!!! Every man would love this (but then again…) Look what I found from an old newspaper archive! Goodness. Such MCP messages. “Listen to him, let him talk first, his topics of conversations are more important than yours” “You have no right to question him” “Speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice.” Hahaha… Seriously! Well, but i do agree with certain points but not in entirety. Like, Be happy to see him. And that’s it, I think. Not every wife is a stepford wife okay? I don’t think the modern man can live with a totally submissive wife either. Yes? No?
