The Miracle of Life

Cheesy as this may sound...Life is truly a MiraclE!!......
Recently, 2 of my friends (one colleague and another ex collegue) around me are...PREGGY!!!! Oh My!!...Im totally exhilirated for them! ! ! N watching my colleague's little tummy growing a little by little everyday...N looking pictures of the little foetus when he/she was 4mm long growing to the current 4.2cm long picture (11 weeks old) is totally amazing. In the 4.2cm picture, we could already see the whole baby with the head and legs and a little hand seemingly 'waving'....awww....So CuuuuuuTTeeee!!!!!!!!!! Till today, Im still simply amazed at life's equation egg + sperm = a baBY!! I know it sounds mad...but I really am still truly awed by this miracle of life...How great and creative and intelligent our Creator is.... =) If you are taking your life for granted...Think again...How so wonderfully crafted and miraculously u r brought into this world. Although life may be filled with sufferings and trials, it is already a blessing to be able to be brought into this world to see and experience the beauty and the magnificent creations of God and to experience love and warmth amongst pple...Life is great! Savor every min of it.

Yes Its a Pink SonY E.!

Got my new toy...Clam shell SonY EriCsson ...n its a whopping PINK! Nearly didnt get it....
Cos had many many various comments yest at the very last minute when I was about to purchase the phone....Thanks to Jon n guys !!!!!!! They were all giving me confusing ideas!! haha..

'NOoooo Dun buy Sony! Buy Samsung....'
'Nooo buy Nokia E 65'
'That phone looks very unpro'
'how about N73..Good deal'
'pink is not your color'

Hee hee..but I stood firm...n went ahead to buy a pink SonY!!!! How fun....But it's agreed that I will give this pink phone to my sister after 3 months (complicated contract issues)...WIll prob get myself a black one then! (Yes Pink is not me I know)



















very very happy with it.....


Sony is sooo much better than Nokia! Im glad I made the decision to change to Sony..after all theseee years!!!!

Here's why.......



1) Longer Batt Life (hope it stays the same for the next 2years).....Testified by a fren who changed from Sony E. to Nokia recently.


2) Doesnt hang!!! Nokia takes 10 secs to open an application, 10 secs to close an application and 1 min to send an sms out.....SE does it all in 10 secs!


3) Better clearer sound quality...


4) Cooler looking. I love how the name of the person who calls/msges appears on the cover!! SLeek!

N its my first CLam shell PHONE!!!! Hope it will last me thru the next 2 years wout any hiccups...

This weekend was pretty fun....Other than the phone which brightened the weekend a little, had a great time with the peeps celebrating Ash's birthday last nite!!! YES ASH!!! U r the same age as me now!!! *evil laughter* heee.....Was a nite of a series of events...

First we finally had our long awaited steamboat at bugis (Sorry leb we couldnt wait anymore hee hee..next time ok?)...

After dinner, we headed on to OoSh at Dampsey Road for drinks...Really nice chill out place...Great ambience, great weather (yes last nite's weather was cooling) n its very open n huge....N the warm Chocolate cake is to die for......Will want to try out their dinner menu someday!

N ended the long nite at good Ol Kovan HK Cafe cos Dia n Carrie came out just to meet us at 1am!!!

Last nite's main topic of the nite (other than about Rumours) was.....'Are you simple'? ....We were basically discussing about what will make us happy in life..Just a lovely little family? or material items such as Guccis Lvs Hermes n a lifestyle of fine dining n chilling out at expensive places every other day? Hmm....Well, I think the answer is simple..the latter will provide some joys..but only superficial and short term joys...So I think I will want to spend lavishly once in a blue moon, just for that short term kicks..but ultimately, a happy little family n just a stable career is all I need. I think Im pretty simple.....

TOo bad..no pics to show.....cos no one had any cameras with them cos every1 tot every1 else will bring their camera being in such a Photo Freak group!!! Soobbs.......But its ok...will definitely bring my cam on our dinner date on 28th April!!! (hee the first of our semi-annual fine dining affair? we better keeeep to it!!)

Ok got to go off for dinner byebye

Back from dormancy......

Yes its me again! Wonder if any1 is still reading this dormant blog.....no motivation whatsoever to blog anymore.....Even I myself have almost forgotten how it looks like....but tonite just feel like visiting it again .....

2006 is over.....n first quarter of 2007 is almost over. What have I done over the past 3 months? I can't seem to recall anything significant or anything that I've done that's worth being happy or satisfied about...Tts extremely upsetting. Why does time pass so fast? Too fast for me to catch up. Everyday, I just churn one P & L after another. The date just rolls...the numbers just run....n the day is over in a twinkling of an eye. N in the evening, I just feel like going home to sleep and rest. No longer have the energy to go out and play every evening like in the past. I hate to admit that Im getting older...but no point living in denial. Ha Ha. I need to enjoy and savor this 'aging process'. Well I must say the past quarter has not been fantastic....Changes at work make it all worse. Well..being the optimistic me...or rather 'forced optimism' ...prayerfully the 2nd quarter of 2007 will be better! =)

Been busy packing stuff in the past week for our great big office move! Finally my company is shifting out of the grey old OCean Building to the brand new One Raffles Quay!!!! Tts building looks very posh and pretty....I like! Gosh I sound so superficial...but well...I think it helps a little to be working in a nice building then in a grey old building..with lifts that have doors which take more than a few seconds to open when they reach the floors and which 'creak and jump'....N the bus from the bus stop outside my house brings me right to the door steps of ORQ!!! Yay!! Weekday mornings are dreadful. Being able to get a seat on the bus for me to read the papers or just snore away till the bus pulls overs right at the doorsteps is redeeming.

One highlight in April would be the Good Friday program!!!!!! The program consists of 2 main skits.......N.....Im acting in one of them!! So exciting! But of cos feeling a little stressed as well...Not really abt remembering the lines...But putting in all the emotions that are needed to inject realism into the whole skit. Those with experience....HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! N please come! It will be on the 6th April 7.30 pm at AMtech Building Sin Ming Road...Let me know if you wanna come!

N after APril...once again it will be one wedding after another!! Gosh! I have 4 good frens getting married this year!! Busy Busy Busy!!

Hopefully I can have another holiday soon...I think I need one holiday every quarter....Tts where all my money for Guccis and Lvs go to....Rather spend them on holidaying then just on bags for now hee hee...... where will it be this time??? Hmm......

Think the big one this year (prob in Sep) would be New York n the nearby areas!!!!But so sad...JAckie and Elynn will be coming back already even b4 I have the chance to visit them.....nm theres still Janet and Lawrence! Hopefullly can squeeze in another big one at the end of the year to Europe or something!!! Tts really my dreeeeeaaammmmm continent....Need to set my foot on it sometime sooon.....Adeline's in Munich for a year for work. So Coooool!!! Maybe I should drop by for a visit...Sigh..When will I ever have such a chance to be seconded to such a beautiful place? Well, whatever will be will be........

Gosh..so many things to buy!!Haven bought my labtop and a new handphone thought I've been speaking about it for the longest time. The shared PC at home is crumbling and extremely unstable. Apple or Lenovo? Still very torn btw the 2!!! Ok I shall aim to get my labtop by e end of April...Lets see.......

N my dear Nokia keeps hanging all the time! Each time a msg comes in, the phone switches off automatically and switches on again by itself before I can read the msg. *Faints*. Will prob get a clam shell NON NOKIA phone for a change. Been too loyal a fan. Too boring. Change is good, just needs getting used to. Which will it be? LG KG 800 or Sony Ericsoon Z610I?? One is sleeeek and the other is sweeeet. Awww...hard decision.....Will get it by end of April too! wheee!














































Enuff of haphazard ramblings tonite...Just typing whatever comes to mind....Bloggie will try to visit u more often! Definitely more after I get my lappy!

Alrighty....off to dreamland.....
oooh tom is a Saturday with NO BAND PRAC!!! Happy like a bird!!! Gonna visit Nai Nai (feel so guilty haven visited her for looong!) then maybe go for a hair cut and off to meet the peeeps!
I treasure weekends to the bits.

Have a great weekend guys! Buenos Nochays!
