was all prepared to go bladding and swimming yesterday with bin and as all those friends who are close to me know that i have a very bad sinus problem that just hits me like tsunami everyday at anytime. no warning sign man. and yesterday was one of the unfortunate days. was on the train at plaza sing when bin was suppose to hop on and that's when Tsunami Sinus hit me right in my nose and head. by the time i got to Yishun, i was too sick to do anything. and was sneezing throughout the walk to his place. when i got to bin's house, i started stonning and "ah-chewing" like there was no tmr and it was so loud that his mama thought i was damn sick with flu. sorry auntie. let u see the "lang bei" side of me. heh. so all activities was called off. and bin gave me medications and i fell asleep like a baby on his bed for 5 hours straight. goodness. by the time i woke up, it was like close to 11pm. i think his brothers must be thinking that i "wu jia ke kui". i wanted to go home but bin kept insisting that i wait for keith to fetch me home. i must have looked real bad last night cos he didn't allow me to go home myself. thanks darling. feeling so much better now =)

A young wife sat on a sofa on a hot humid day, drinking iced tea and
visiting with her Mother. As they talked about life, about marriage,
about the responsibilities of life and the obligations of adulthood,
the mother clinked the ice cubes in her glass thoughtfully and turned
a clear, sober glance upon her daughter. "Don't forget your Sisters,"
she advised, swirling the tea leaves to the bottom of her glass.
"They'll be more important as you get older. No matter how much you
love your husband, no matter how much you love the children you may
have, you are still going to need Sisters. Remember to go places with
them now and then; do things with them. "Remember that 'Sisters'
means ALL the women... your girlfriends, your daughters, and all your
other women relatives too. "You'll need other women - Women always do."
'What a funny piece of advice!' the young woman thought. 'Haven't I
just gotten married? Haven't I just joined the couple-world? I'm now
a married woman, for goodness sake! A grown-up! Surely my husband and
the family we may start will be all I need to make my life worthwhile!'
But she listened to her Mother. She kept contact with her Sisters and
made more women friends each year. As the years tumbled by, one after
another, she gradually came to understand that her Mom really knew
what she was talking about. As time and nature work their changes and
their mysteries upon a woman, Sisters are the mainstays of her life.
After more than 50 years of living in this world, here is what I've learned:
THIS SAYS IT ALL:
Time passes.
Life happens.
Distance separates.
Children grow up.
Jobs come and go.
Love waxes and wanes.
Men don't do what they're supposed to do.
Hearts break.
Parents die.
Colleagues forget favors.
Careers end.
BUT.........
Sisters are there, no matter how much time and how many miles are between you.
A girl friend is never farther away than needing her can reach.
When you have to walk that lonesome valley and you have to walk it by
yourself, the women in your life will be on the valley's rim,
cheering you on, praying for you, pulling for you, intervening on
your behalf, and waiting with open arms at the valley's end.
Sometimes, they will even break the rules and walk beside you.
Or come in and carry you out.
Girlfriends, daughters, granddaughters, daughters-in-law, sisters,
sisters-in-law, Mothers, Grandmothers, Auntie's, nieces, cousins, and
extended family, all bless our life!
The world wouldn't be the same without women, and neither would I...
When we began this adventure called womanhood; we had no idea of the
incredible joys or sorrows that lay ahead.
Nor did we know how much we would need each other.
Every day, we need each other still.

the dumb me locked myself out of my car today!
first time in sg and twice in aussie. haa... what an idiot.
and cos of my carlessness, my dear bin got to wait for me in town for an hour and he was fuming by the time i met him. sorry darling. ya, it's my fault. anyways, we are all smiles now, cos we don't keep grudges right my dear. yup. that's what i love about us. settle the anger and unhappiness on the day itself so that we don't have "ge ye chou". yes. *muacks*
and cycle & carriage provided service beyond their call of duty. so proud of you guys! the funniest and luckiest thing is that i locked myself out of my car just 100metres away from the C&C service centre. thank god. so "qiao". and i started to panick cos i can't i can't get in the car and all my stuffs there and it was 6.30pm and C&C was closing. so no phone, nothing, i decided to run to the empty service centre and i saw sunni, the guy who attended to my car the last time i got into an accident and told him what happened and i was perspiring like a tap. damn UNglam! but whatever. he said all the locksmiths had went home and that he could drive me home to get the spare key. thank god. i met a savior today. (",) . or i'll be dead meat now.

went for Caberet yesterday. matinee. a little disappointing. story line's not strong and the ending's a little too abrupt. hmm. whatever. its the company that matters. heh. i have always wanted to say this. or maybe everytime i realised it only at times like movie or theatre dates. bin always holds on to my hand. from the moment we find our seats to the end of the show. he never let go of me. weird right. even if i manage to wriggle my hand off his, somehow, he'll find my hand again and hold on to it during the show. haaha. and this happens all the time. for more than two years. and i kind of like it. goodness. there's something wrong with my head. ok. enough of us. so darling, it's Two years and Seven months and more to come! yay!!!
-----------------
grams had her birthday celebration last night. food's fantastic as always. went out with my cuz kenny and of course bin too. yup. had a long catching up with kenn and i guess bin was bored to death and since keith was driving around clarke quay, he picked bin up and gave him a ride home. poor boy, exhausted by my constant blabbering to kenn about stuffs at home and school which he (bin) already knows. you know, guys really don't like to listen to the same stuffs twice. yar. so... said ta to my darling and kenn and i continued sipping our ice blended drink till the shop closed the glass doors, hinting that we should make our way home. yup.
* I am a Happy girL *
♥ adeL darling
so darling, i am acutally quite friendly.
haa.
will be watching Caberet @ the esplande tmr and then going for my grams birthday celebration at Hang Kang, a teochew restaurant near Clarke Quay. yup. how i wished ying and al are back so that we can catch up over dinner. i MISSed my cuzzies. life moves pretty fast. if i don't stop once in a while to look and think of the people i have missed as i moved on, i would have missed a lot of good old buds. i love catching up. i love sitting down at a coffee place talking to friends about each others lives, moments that we have missed out on one another. met an old friend, huiying, yesterday for lunch. had Anatolia. my fav turkish restaurant since secondary school days. yep.

anyways, the mad maid was sent back finally. she's fit to travel but not in a clear state of mind yet. and i finally visited the famoue woodbridge hospital. quite an experience. i was freaked out. and felt claustrophobic there cos the patients there were crowding around my parents and me. i know that they don't mean what they are doing. it was a depressing sight. and the environment is no better than a prison. i hope they get well soon.
god bless yall

darn.
all because of the bloody ass. to hell you go. i have no compassion for people who create problems for others and not love themselves. for if they do not love themselves, they are not worthy of anyone's love.
i am currently a research assistant in school and am paid rather reasonably. but the master's student kept making us wait and dragging the meeting time. take today for example. the meeting was supposed to be at 11am but M msged at 10am to postpone it to 2pm. den i rushed down from rou's place, taking a taxi so that i can reach school at 2pm but when i got there, K said that M postponed it to 3pm den when it was finally 3pm, M came in and said that the Dr.'s meeting is still not over and we got to wait till 4.30pm. and when it was finally 4.30pm, and we finally met Dr., he sounded as though he's in a rush and ended the whole discussion in an hour.
i wasted my whole day. waiting for a dumb meeting which was not productive, cos they were all smoking their way through.
and den they decided to fix another meeting on fri. i CAN'T! i got a job orientation to attend. what is freaking wrong with the school. u cant just call a meeting as and when u like. i have my own schedule and commitments too. and i went off at bin today when i went to fetch him from the harbourfront ferry terminal. poor guy. he just let me go off at him without retaliating. and after that i felt sorry. and apologised. he said he understands. it's alright. aww... so sweet. and he bought me a genuine polo ralph shirt from the store in Batam cos it's cheaper as they have the factory there. i like it. pink and green. sounds weird. but looks good. ok, i have weird taste. and he knows.
i AM A MEAN PIG.
i am sorry my love.
*hugs*

i was happily chatting with min and michelle about going for a job interview and den to arab street and telling them that my maid disappeared yesterday morning and only came home in the evening and den, i realised that the maid is packing her bag and this time, she was so scheming. she crept to the door thinking i can't hear her opening main door and gate and attempted to run.
i was shocked.
so without bra and slippers, i caught hold of her and asked her what happened. what she want to do, whether anything happened back in indonesia. she say no and started screaming and my indian neighbour came out and saw me trying to stop her from moving towards the lift. and i guess i look pathetic enough that my usually not so friendly neighbour decided to help. so the lady asked her what happened and the maid just kept only saying that she want to go home and den the lady asked her brother to talk to her and she just kept on saying that she want to go home. and den the maid decided to make an attempt to run towards the stairs and seriously i couldn't stop her anymore cos she pushed me aside once and it bruised my arm and so i just kept running by her side, asking her what happened. that if she dun talk to me, i will not be able to help her. and she kept walking towards her "sister's" house. and i kept following without any bra and slippers.
so embarrassing.
so den we reached her "sister's" place and den i asked the lady whether she is really her sister and den she gave me a weird look and said "no lah". and den she refused to follow me home so that my mummy can send her back to the agency and so i started talking to her friend. a very nice girl. she told me that she dunno what is wrong with the maid also cos the maid has been acting weirdly since yesterday and had been bugging her at her house. she told me that the maid is possessed. den she giggled, saying she's joking. not funny leh. i get scared easily.
since she refused to return home with me, i told the maid's friend keep a lookout for me to make sure that the maid does not run away from her house and i'll go home and get my mummy. thank god mummy got home the moment i got back, cos i called her when i saw the maid packing up. den mummy followed me to the maid's friend's place and tried talking to her. this whole saga started at 1pm and i left the scene at 4pm and my mummy just home at 10pm from the indonesian embassy. during the time when i was there, my mum called the maid agency, the embassy and the police. all did not move her at all. she insisted on going back to indonesia but refused to move from her friend's place and den intermitteny said that she want to stay at her frined's place, den her friend say that the maid is not her friend anymore cos she dun want to get into trouble. and it was the maid's friend who told me to call the police. i didn't want to to. cos if we were to do that den she will ot be able to work here anymore. but all of our patience were tested and stretched to the limit and finally, we called the police. i must say that the police force is freaking crap. it took them more den half an hour to get to the scene and i was so pissed that i told my mum in mandarin that if there's a fight going on, the victim would have died. and the maid's friend laughed. she understands mandarin, and i am impressed. not only that, she understands and speaks it and also fluent english and hokkien. so the police go there and talked to the maid telling the maid that it's her mistake to run away from home cos there is no abuse and nothing. the police talked till hey were pissed too and den told my mum that they cannot do anything cos she still has a work permit and the evil policemen told my mum that the other way is to cancel her permit straight away so that they can arrest her straight away as an illegal immigrant and she will be jailed for 6 months and depoted back to indonesia.sound cruel right. anyways, my kind mummy decided to give the maid a chance and asked the maid's friend to escort her to the embassy and all and my mum even gave her 500 bucks and bought her an air tix back to jakarta. goodness. so nice. if i were my mum, i would just leave her at the embassy and not give her anything for wasting my whole day chasing after her and appreciating what we have done for her for the past 1 year plus.
what a LOOOONNNGGG DAY!!!!
thank god she's at the embassy now. and my mummy still has to pick her up from the embassy tmr morning and send her to the airport. hope everthing goes smoothly tmr.
GOD BLESS US.
