Monday Oranges~~

Err... just to not say blues.. :p

I'm fighting the flu now and 've been feeling sleepy the w..h..o..l..e.. day.... and everything seems to move so s..l..o..w.. especially my reaction and anything that requires using my brain!! :s The only thing that kept me excited was to think of going to c Avril Lavigne life this Sat... hahahaHAHAHA. :D and so nice of mr M to go with me :) If only the happy zoo bunch would go too!!

Happy thoughts... happy thoughts.... mmm let me remember Friday nite's loud party in mr K's place, felt so nice to be in such good company! Met lady R, a very nice n pretty nus friend I haven't seen for like 4 yrs~~ haha... small world, small world. Also met my ex-senior from KE7, a babe with sexy dance moves.. :) thinking of dancing, i'm pretty sure everyone had a wonderful time dancing (or watching :D) life indian dance that nite. Mr K's sound system was damn powerful too, lucky for us his neighbours didn't call the cops.. ahhahaha

Saturday me n baby had a really long talk. It was good for us and all's well that ends well I guess. Baby's been askin me to fix him a screwdriver almost daily ever since I bought the 1.9L tropicana. Shd I be worried? But then orange juice is good for you, right? and absolut mandrin fills only a fraction of the cup.. haha~~ trying to rationalize things here.

Ahh... who wants to see the ramblings of a half-sleeping dreamer. I'm off to bed..... to bed, for now :)

I want a greyhound to hug me sleep!! haha~~

Space

Kahlil Gibran, "The Prophet" : On Marriage

You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.

You shall be together when white wings of death scatter your days.

Aye, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.

But let there be spaces in your togetherness,

And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.

Love one another but make not a bond of love:

Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.

Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.

Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,

Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.

Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.

For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.

And stand together, yet not too near together:

For the pillars of the temple stand apart,

And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.

coders' nite out

Went out for dinner and drinks at holland V with some colleagues today. It was fun! Some of them are jokers to the core, but some are juz plain funny!! One PRC guy was trying to decide what drinks to order and he looked at the menu carefully... and said earnestly, "what's this? Cocktails are not Tequila??" We all looked at the page and saw the heading:

Cocktails ~ Tequila

Duh! Too much coding, dude.. wahahaha~~~~ :D

Well one of the reasons i joined the company is coz of the people. So far I've found every single one of 'em really smart, motivated, and bursting with some sort of energy and ability to make things happen. Plus most of them are sincere, nice n friendly. I think i've found a winning team~~ for now :)

Bubblicious

Nothing better than a long hot bubble bath after a full day's activity! My current favourite: gorgeous grapefruit bath bubbles from the body shop. :)

Today the bath; tomorrow the world!!

shopping, shopping \(^o^)/

Finally found the cute little pair I've been looking for!! They're made of thin leather in light brown and mmm very, very comfortable.. ha ha ha ha ha~~~ yay!! Now I need to find the pants to match them... hmm.

Also got a sweetie red slim n tiny handbag with a bold buckle in the front. It should match some of my top reddies!!

It's really tough getting anything with baby around coz he's really, really picky!! :p So today's really been a lucky day; he even found himself a cool n funky shirt 'to go clubbing'... heehee.

A very pleasant day indeed. :) Nite nitezzz~~

Robots

Funny! Simple plot, but pretty witty script. Enough to condition the mind for sweet dreams.... sweet dreams! :)

Sweet Saturday

We went kayaking yesterday!! Was at the 'Love is all around' carnival at Big Splash, thanks to baby's boss' generous invitation to his Church event. We got $40 worth of coupons for free, and spent it on tasty treats and fresh juices, fun games with cute prizes, a breezy Bali-style casual dress for me and 2 lush potted plants to keep XiaoHua company!! Yay~~ :)

Then we spotted various groups of people carrying kayaks across the beach and thought hey, we should try that too!! It was totally awesome kayaking with baby, although the sea reminded me of the movie about two tourists who went scuba-diving and got left behind at sea and got eaten by sharks... eeeh. Also flashed in my memory was images from the movie Frankenfish, not to mention the recent tsunami tragedy. But at one point we stopped paddling and just floated there quietly, me lying on my back and enjoying the gentle afternoon sun, baby trying to swim around the kayak with his life-jacket on :D (and soon finding it just a little tricky to climb back up without capsizing us both... haha). The breeze was nice n cooling, the sound of the sea hypnotic, I felt just so comfortably numb, and so lucky~~ aww.

Hava great Sunday! :)

Wild Friday

I think it was the first time I had a Sangria at Harry's and it was definitely refreshing. Eddy made us a bittersweet Lychee Bellini and that got me happy alright... haha. Kura, Hippo n I then went over to this bowling place (forgot what it was called) where we joined Ata, Widya, Vivi, Herry, n baby-faced Joe. Now think twice before challenging Widya coz girl, she's good!! :D

Next time you use the toilet,

watch before you sit down...

ST. PETERSBURG - It was almost 9 a.m. Tuesday and Shannon Scavotto already was running late for work when he opened the toilet to throw out a tissue.

Inside was a snake as thick as a child's wrist, its diamond-shaped head sticking 10 inches out of the toilet.

Scavotto, 30, grabbed his camera phone to call someone, then snapped a few shots of the snake with the tissue paper on its head...



Scavotto called his boss to tell him he'd be late because he'd had to wrestle a snake out of his toilet. His boss joked he would need a better excuse than that.

Scavotto told him he'd bring it in so he could see it.

And he did. His wife wouldn't let him keep it at the house, anyway...

The city's public utilities department could not be reached to comment on the regularity of such an event.

But it has happened elsewhere.

In Fort Worth, Texas, a 6-foot black water snake came out of a toilet before animal control workers arrived and moved it to a nearby lake.

Last year, a python turned up in the toilet bowl of a home in Barcelona, Spain, and an iguana climbed up the sewer pipes of a home in Sarasota and got stuck in the toilet bowel.

And in 1993 in Atlanta, a woman sat down on the toilet only to be scratched by a squirrel that had somehow arrived from the sewer...

Full Story from the St. Petersburg Times Online! :D
