Back to basics..

Love is a choice.

we have the freedom to choose to do it, or otherwise.
Words can sound so worthless without the accompaniment of actions to it. We say we love this and that; and every other thing that we do in our daily activities . But are we really loving what we are doing or has it turned into a religiously passe phrase- a slogan which means nothing more than mere words?

Love is not just a feeling or a sudden burst of emotion that we have for that special moment only. Love is a commitment. You got to love it still even when you are frustrated with it, sick of it, tired of it, giving up hope on it. if u really love, you will do whatever it takes to turn your love slogans into actions.

MY life is Your song
TO You my life belongs
Let all earthly crowns fade in the shadow of the Cross..
My life is Your song
I'll sing for You alone
Nothing in this world Can take me away from You
Our love goes on and on..

SHOULD I GET A LAVA LAMP??


i'm just contemplating.... will my $30 bucks go to waste if i purchase this lava lamp at marina square?...i mean, on the first day i saw it at work, i was sooooooooooo fascinated by it, i called JON all the way in Malaysia and told him that they're selling it at a cheap price!! Well, until today, it's still on special offer! ANd what's more, it's really beautiful!

The light and blobs of wax moving up and down gets me attracted to it!!


And to think that MY BLOG HAS ONE (*teng teng teng..scroll to the bottom!!)..If u didn't notice, I'm really thinking of getting THE REAL DEAL one of these days..ANd knowing me..when i LIKE something, and i feel guilty about getting it, I get it for someone else...LOl!! so..WHO WANT'S A LAVA LAMP!? :)

shopping anyone?

i went shopping...

and this is something i didn't buy...
this is the best kind of therapy &
the worst kind of addiction...
Signs of a Shopping Problem
If you suspect that you or a loved one may have a problem with shopping, look for these warning signs:

Spending over budget: Someone with a shopping problem will not understand the need to limit his/her spending. Often, his/her spending exceeds their income.
Compulsive buying: A person intends to purchase one new pair of pants, but ends with an entire outfit—or more.
Chronic problem: Many American overspend at Christmas, but do not have a shopping addiction. It becomes a problem when overspending occurs year round, and a person relies heavily on credit to sustain his/her shopping habits.
Hiding the problem: People with shopping addictions will hide their purchases or keep secret accounts and credit cards.
Vicious circle: Even if people with shopping addictions return their purchases, they continue to overspend on a regular basis.
Impaired relationships: A person will spend large amounts of time shopping, instead of nurturing relationships with his/her families or significant others. In order to hide the problem, he/she may pull away emotionally and physically.
Clear consequences: The amount of money spent shopping does not matter so much as the results of the spending—whether or not other areas of life are being negatively affected by the shopping addiction.

NEW YEAR....NEW POSTSSSS!!! (notice it's plural..)

DEAR ALL...
Happy new year to all of you..thanks for being a part of my life..well, if you are reading this, i know you are :) Anway, some of you may be wondering..(again?!) where have i been. Well, i have been doing some soul searching..and i finally realised that i want to be left alone. That's why i stopped blogging..

You definitely didn't buy that right?!! :P LOl..

okay..jokes aside.. upon GRADUATION....

(with less than 6 feet tall..urrgghh!!)

.... I had been pretty much hopping around for the past few months. I see that from October i didn't blog at all..well, that marked a significant point of my life. i started working!! lol..working life is pretty alright albeit every other architect and uni senior trying to scare me by saying that i'm gonna lose my soul once i start working cos it's gonna be sooo stressful in architecture and you work like dogs but you get paid like peanuts?! i've even got senior friends who work like 7 days a week- so totally no life..and heard of news that some work until they end up sick in the hospital..spending more money curing the sickness due to stress than earning the money by working like a cow! GOSH..isn't that enough BAD NEWS to stop one from working!??! yeahh...i thought so..

So i actually wanted to hang around, bum around, go back home once in a while (like the prodigal daughter) to spend some FAMA (father-mother) cash and maybe work part-time teaching piano, or dancing, or start up my own business. sounded like an awesome plan right!? Everybody, even MYSELF especially was convinced by it! Even my parents gave me the green light?!(surprisingly...) BUT, once again..i guess GOd had a different plan..

A month after graduation i was called up by a firm who wanted to offer me a job at DUBAI..I REJECTED IT !! Now..to think of it..how silly can i get?! It's BIG CASH BABY!! Oh well..i wanted to stick around close to all of u..and of cos close to what my heart desires. So i gave it up. and then, a week or two before SOT ended, i was given a job offer to work in an architectural firm in Singapore. Unsure about what i am gonna end up doing, or more of like 'afraid' that i may not even get the job(!) due to my results (...erhmm..not that i flunked or anything..i guess i've seen better ones?! Maybe just gripped by inferiority complex..urghh), i finally went for the interview, liked my interviewers, and TOOK the JOB! oh well.. it was recommended by someone. and i thank God for that someone who recommended me. :)

Seriously, i wouldn't have got the job if it wasn't for him, for a week later after i commenced work, recession started in Singapore, and many people lost their jobs, couldn't get a job and etc etc. Thank God.. and some of you might be wondering..how in the world would i be affected?! Building Industry, baby..Always the first to be hit!!

So, i've got a future plan.. when it's high time, i make my big cash and prepare for the crunch (well it happens every other 15 yrs or so right!?). the next recession i'll probably be about 40-45 yrs old..so i am gonna start getting rich in the next few years or so :)))..Who's with me?!!?!
Invest my money in land, property, steady shares, start businesses (seriously, just being an architect is not gonna make me a millionaire!) for the next 10 yrs. and when the cycle comes, i'm totally prepared! lol..like the brides with the oil lamps and those without the oil lamps waiting for the groom! (er..it's biblical..read up on it :))

SO cheers to all of you guys for the year 2009! I really can't wait to see what's gonna happen this year! REmember, PLAN the YEAR As Soon AS POSsible! cos..If u fail to plan, u PLAN to FAIL!!!

Oh before you go..here'r some pictures which may interest you......
