happy birthday dearest captain!
here's our beloved birthday girl, with her cool posture as always, bits of dashing similarity to the big red elmo, don't you agree?

surely, our lives have been changed almost entirely with the influx of work and many other matters as we hate to but yet continue to grow older with each passing moment. but the warmth, just to be back together again, even when its just for that few hours, is always so comforting.

yanhan and her rants on adorable primary 4 students, mel and her donut frenzy and her never-ending enthusiasm for baking, yihang and her job-hops, lihui and her lucky day to get a new and better job, yimtong and her headache over what to do...

well, despite it all, we're still the same girls who once raced down the lanes in our canoes, bugged subways every saturday, chilled at pullup bars every mornings and trained like never before (:

team, for always.
being together, is a simple addiction that brings a surge of ecstasy with every dose.

hello world.

of all the shades of blue that can possibly exist and that you can possibly imagine,
ultra-marine, navy, pastel, baby, sapphire, royal, iris, denim, cerulean, columbia, persian, cobalt, azure...

monday blue is the ugliest and most cruel of them all, isn't it? weekend flies past, weekdays crawl by, never felt such intensity, but sadly it's here to stay till goodness knows when.

Anyway, here's a small figment of weekend.

Saturday;
Cycled with church mates along east coast. I think I must have forgotten how lovely the beach can be after being stuck in the office for all these while, because the waters and stretch of sand seemed exceptionally beautiful. It was only then I realized how much I missed being under the sun too, for the warmth is still as familiar despite the gap of time.

Such an outing bring back fond memories, a tingling sensation i should say.

Sunday;
Church as usual, and I'm finally back to choir after months of absence. But after losing touch with alto part for so long, i find myself lost here and there.oh well, haha.

Me and desiree finally got a chance to shop too, after years of not shopping together. The billabong bags we bought the last time can be considered ancient relics already (:

We stopped for some caps. But apparently we'd not a single clue what our army boys' head sizes were, so choosing became an arduously difficult task. We laughed at how they would curse us if we buy the ones with green army patterns on them! And we ended up trying oversized caps on ourselves.

And so the weekend bid goodbye.

Oh, someone actually called at 830pm last night instead of the usual after 10pm. And it puts this huge grin on my face, as if Mr. Santa suddenly jumped down my chimney and gave me a gift though Christmas is nowhere near (:

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that i heard of
Once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds
are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Blue birds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?

Such an innocent, simple yet meaningful song isnt it? The tune cant seem to get off my mind (:

--

to do list:
1. Finish cross stitch
2. Read up on red wine or even ice wine.
Go to places that sell red wine and scrutinize the bottles.
Decide which brand of which year to buy by end of May.
3. Finish reading the books that the doctor gave
4. Learn knitting (pencil case, bible case, scarf? )
5. Coach brother and cousin weekly
6. Watch the stack of dvds (courtesy of feli and jo)
7. Be a volunteer at hospital's children corner, once every 2 weeks perhaps
8. Run
9. Get a new swimsuit (lost the old one) and go swim
10.Pop by macritchie and canoe
11. Learn to cook from mum and help with housework

THAT should be enough to keep me really busy. This may sound silly, but not doing anything else except for the daily routine work is highly suffocating for me. I hate boredom very, very much.

Though i've always thought that publishing to-do list on the blog is rather stupid, but now i know how it feels after typing them all out. Haha, a little motivation floats somewhere.

Can't wait for team dinner tomorrow (:

thought i would abandon this place once and for all since i havent been blogging.
but i truly need some space to rant today, thereby falling back into this rather
cosy corner once more.

today's been a really bad day, but an amusingly bad one i must say.

its a ride of looking forward to something so badly, and then being denied of that something so quickly. its like a pretty helium balloon that pops all of a sudden. yet, the strongheaded me still didnt want to let it go although impossibilities was so boldly displayed and thoroughly rationalised to me. though my mind had given up, my heart was still clinging on to it. so i made the wildest decision which only promised just a trickle of chance. but faith played a trick on me and it was a second disappointment of the day. i couldnt believe that i could actually pour it out all at one go. it was total embarrassment. irrationality was at its peak and i gained my mind back only upon reaching home.a little too late maybe, cos what's done been done.

i thought hard upon the whirlpool that i've let myself sank in today. and im relieved to find an answer attached to all that nonsense. it was actually a pretty simple and comforting reason.

but i really do hope such things dont occur again. faith please dont play anymore tricks. but that's just a wishful thinking on my part i guess, for such tricks are inevitable in the game of love.

sorry for the abstraction, cos i'm pretty certain no one would be able to make any head or tail out of it. but a rant is never meant to be understood isnt it? and anyone out there dont have to understand anyway.

staying strong is tough, but not impossible isnt it (: you're so dearly missed.

yay, its weekend!
