scribbling away boredom

mochi's scribblings... when in a boring, trainer-thinks-he-is-very-funny course....

ramblings on CNY day2 - 24 Jan

2nd day of CNY and zero visits!

Haha. except for friends coming over to chat and nua.. I did not attempt to step out for visiting.

I'm quite happy with the arrangement actually. Been having my essential dose of sleep and settled quite a bit of administrative stuff for the hut.

Need to ROM to get my hut. Still planning now..date not fixed... or rather changing the date to accomodate my mama.

I have so many people on my invite list but sad to say I gotta really limit to the besties as I'm keeping it to be a simple affair. The lucky besties are sharon san, zhe san and SMAB

The rest of my buddies will enjoy the bigger event which I shall start to think about when my hut is done up.

I'm not worried... Got lots of talents among my friends... photographers, wedding planner, make-up artiste, grade 8 pianoist, singers, hip hop dancers, tarot readers who can provide professional services and entertainment. :)

Not too particular about the event either, preferably near nature, trees and flowers would be good.

Theme would be for everyone to have fun.

Abit random but just decided how cute jurny is. She shall have the honour to be bestowed a unique collage under mochi's hall of babies.

Where new adventures begin...19 Jan

Woohoo. Did house shopping on 19 Jan. Yep..I'm soon-to-be a proud owner of a piece of property in the west.

Murphy has always been hot on mochi's heels. No exception for this big life-changing decision we had to make as well.  In short, I chose a level 6 flat and ended up with a level 3 height flat. due to super misleading or incomplete info, topped with 2 very blur lovers who didn't even think of looking at the scale model at HDB before making a decision. Talk about adventure..

Well, that aside, I already see my new year starting with a bang, with a few bigger bangs that would follow. Apparently, my hut is all ready and there's high chance I would be collecting the keys in 3-4months time. Gulp.

So which means I need to ROM before Apr, get the hut, and start hunting for humble stuff which would make my hut cosy and complete. Then, comes the renovation and designing.

The exciting intermissions would be 3 events back to back at work in the next half year which I'm very sure would zap me out of whatever remaining energy I have left. Not that I have alot to start with.

It's just the beginning and I'm loving it.

I won't give up - Jason Mraz

Hmmmm ... Hmmmm ... Hmmmm ... Hmmm ...

When I look into your eyes
It's like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
There's so much they hold
And just like them old stars
I see that you've come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find

'Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We've got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No, I won't give up

I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
The tools and gifts we got yeah, we got a lot at stake
And in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend
For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I've got, and what I'm not
And who I am

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up
Still looking up.

I won't give up on us (no I'm not giving up)
God knows I'm tough enough (I am tough, I am loved)
We've got a lot to learn (we're alive, we are loved)
God knows we're worth it (and we're worth it)

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

11 days into 2012

It's 11 days into 2012. Blink Blink.

Been good so far though I've been on a long gone battle with the fatigue monster, or maybe it's just plain resistance to go back to work.

Talk about new year new resolutions... One moment I was telling sharon san that I am abstaining from holidays for 2012 and saving up for the ridiculously gonna suck me dry 98sqm govt housing. The next minute I expressed my immense urge to go HK again for shopping and eating. Sharon san said how come my resolutions broken so fast one.

Ya.. resolutions are meant to be broken so that we have a constant and steady flow of resolutions.

So I shall skip this year... or I'll call them 'wishes' instead. A wish for my loved ones and myself to have happiness and good health wherever they are and in whatever they do. Simple wish which would make anyone rich to be able to own it. Hmm.. and maybe I hope I can change my attitude this year to be more accepting of differences. I bought an aromatherapy set from BKK and the oils I chose were lemongrass, night jasmine and lavender.

I LOVE lemongrass smell. How can anyone hate it. and I was wrong. I found at least 3 people who HATED it.... stella, ES and my dad... not including those who hated it but haven't lashed out at me, and not counting those who didn't want to hurt my feelings. haha. I even found the scent too weak but before I could increase the dosage, my dad started grumbling that I was fumigating the whole house with this horrendous scent.

Yep. So yes, pls accept the fact that there are millions of people who are different from you mochi.

Oh oh. Koh Samet and BKK new year was simply amazing. The fireworks were everywhere, close above me, making that moment of countdown to 2012 so surreal. Definitely my best new year so far.
