in life, there are always choices to be made.

you can either stick to the convention, or be brave enough to follow untrodden paths.

there's no wrong or right.

you just simply enjoy different sceneries.

butter fun

one of my colleagues is leaving next week and we had a farewell party for her last friday at overeasy first followed by drinks at butter. had loads of fun! :)

all of us at overeasy - i'm surprised how much i liked the place and how popular it already is despite being so new. i love the ambience of the place, and the setting - beside the sea, and the floor-to-ceiling glass panels. it also attracts the right mix of people.. reminds me a little of bala, without its shadiness and pretentiousness...yet.

tim and me

it was nice to hang out with everyone in a different setting other than the usual boring office. everyone was more relaxed and all out to have a good time.

to days of more fun and laughter ahead.

it's funny how friendships are formed.

there are some people whom you naturally clique with effortlessly. you don't have to struggle to find a common interest, words just come and you can talk to him/her about anything under the sun.

there are some people whom, no matter how hard you try, you just cannot feel comfortable around them. you feel awkward, you have nothing to say, and you just cant wait to get out of their company.

i knew you've made the right choice for yourself, the moment i saw your eyes lit up when you spoke about it.

i'm happy for you. i've always known this is the path for you, and you'll excel in it.

my only fear is that it would pull us apart, into two different worlds...and you would drift further and further away from me...

but i must have faith, if not in myself, then in you..in us..

women sewing batik wear

sis getting her shorts drawn - it was done in less than a minute, and cost 10,000 rp (S$1.30)

the finished artwork

view from the mountain top - overlooking another volcano

the lake on the far right of the volcano provides water for all in bali, therefore no water sports are permitted there

believed to be the sacred water

me in sarong, can't enter the temple in shorts, sort of like the same as in thailand

women in bali balance the things they carry on their heads, for religious purposes

to be continued...

went shopping today and bought some clothes.
happys.
shopping always makes me happy.
how typically female i am.

just came back from a 4 day trip in bali with the family.
a pretty enjoyable trip.
despite i found the tour guide very irritating initially, because of the way he pronounced his Rrrrrrs and the way he always looks straight ahead at the traffic instead of looking back at us when talking to us in the coach.

bali is nice. life is simple. life is primitive. it's nice to live without the pc for a few days.

it's the kind of place that makes me feel i can just live on a beach forever, and just tan and eat and swim everyday.

but..it's nowhere near cambodia. haha, the love of my life, and i think it'll always be.

ramblings

i suddenly thought abt the feeling
i wonder how it's like to feel that way again...

fav songs at the moment:

halo by beyonce

i'm enjoying work better.
work is piling everyday. more and more given each day.
but it's ok, the more the merrier.
last week was especially tiring; worked till 11plus for 3 nights in a row.
my eyes nearly popped out. staring at figures all day and all night can be very draining.
i fell asleep seconds after my head touched the pillow.

but it's all good.
i dont mind the piles of work, the late nights or the fatigue.

life feels a little empty these days, so it's nice to have something to fill it up for a change, and less to think.

i like my colleagues, most of them at least.
i've learnt not to judge one by their appearances. they are deceiving. like many things in life, you often got to delve deeper to really understand people. everyone has unwritten stories.

ramblings ramblings.
