Am all about the WORDPLAY

Here Comes the Rain Again!

2010-09-17T11:39:00.007+08:00

Cats & Dogs,
Fish & Frogs!
Raining raining,
Clog the Draining!

Thunder Rumble
Oh we tremble!
Shivering, freezing.
Great weather for some snoozing.

Don't Look Back in Anger

2010-07-31T11:49:00.008+08:00

The grass is always greener
On the other side of the fence
I had to agree with this liner
Much more now in this expense.

Luck Timing Placing Gracing
Why don't I have even an icing?
Seeking challenges day by day
Where are they? Seems all at bay.

Patience, patience that's all I can say
How long more till I get my way?
Perhaps I expected so much more
That now all I can do is to simply ignore.

Patience

Guess who's back!

2010-06-05T12:45:00.003+08:00

Dear Mr Wordplay,
Sorry for neglecting you for nearing a year. Time flies and it's June 2010!

Indeed time pass in a zoom and we are now in 2nd half 2010. So what have I been up to? Basically done with school (an official graduate!), found a new job (yay!), trainings and more trainings (whack that b*tch!). And not forgetting discovering and learning something new with B throughout our journey.

2009-09-07T14:35:00.005+08:00

From the dripping tap to the clogged one
When it stop?
Tired from all the sneezing and weezing,
I wish I could just plucked out my nose,
hang it to dry.

Perhaps sometimes just a simple,
'How are you feeling now?'
Will make me feel a lot better.
But wait, perhaps I expected too much,
after going through all the batter.

and she can't help but to feel a tinge of disappointment.

2009-08-15T03:03:00.007+08:00

With countless thoughts running through her mind
Without a clue of what she's thinking of at this time.
What lies ahead no one knows
The future is what she wants to hold.

Where's the missing smile, she thoughts
As stress creeps in without a snort.
Louder, happier, just to fit in?
Can't she be her quiet self and do her own thing?

She never knew it could be this hard
Trying to fit in, feeling like a retard.
Will things get better upon the paper?
Or she has to struggle just to cater?

and she's clueless

2009-07-31T18:29:00.004+08:00

When the road ahead was bumpy
When I failed to pull a smile
When conflicts arise
When things are bogging down on me,
when I simply feel like giving up...

You stood by me, patiently.

'You mean the world to me'
Those words warmed my heart,
made me forget all the worries I ever had.

2009-05-08T17:04:00.001+08:00

It's simply not my day after all. Period.
Back to work.

Make up your fucking mind, will you?

Back On Track

2009-04-22T21:50:00.006+08:00

*picks dust and cobwebs*
Finally decided to add a little life back into my page. It's been three months plus since I embarked on my new job. Totally different environment, culture, colleagues, a whole new portfolio altogether now. Not forgetting a lot busier than before. Not that I am complaining but I actually enjoy being busy. Tired yet fulfiling.

Then there are moments in life where one will be caught on the crossroads; would you go for a job that offers a higher pay yet in a boring industry, male dominated working environment, somewhat the culture/working environment sounds so much like the previous company or would you stick on with the current, though lesser remuneration but good working environment/experience, great bonding with colleagues and department? Was caught in that situation a few days ago. Struggled at first and finally decided to follow my heart.

Question arises: Passion vs Monetary? Would you work for your passion/dream or for the money? Guess it all pretty much boils down to the current situation one is in. In which, sometimes sucking it up do help.

but the tree kept the koala hanging on

2009-01-25T20:57:00.004+08:00

It was a sigh of relieve
Albeit a tinge of sadness
Rollercoaster ride of emotions
Made leaving even harder

And she packed her bags
Cleared her desk
All ready to smell the fresh green grass
To face the challenges ahead

and it's byebye PM.

Start of a something new

2009-01-12T15:50:00.006+08:00

Down with random flu
No doubt she will feel blue
Rudolf's nose, just not as red
All she wanna do is jump into bed
And with all the sneezing and weezing
Just that single note made it all appeasing

2009-01-08T11:25:00.004+08:00

And it's all been done.
Plucked the courage to ride the waves
All In search of Sunrise,
She's always been.

and just a chance that maybe we'll find better days.

and Hello 2009!

2009-01-02T09:27:00.008+08:00

Yep time flies, and we have stepped into 2009.
The last few moments of 2008 was indeed well spent with my darling girls. We may not meet often but it's never-ending conversations when we do. As mentioned to a friend, it doesn't matter how or where you spent New Year's Eve but rather who you spent the last few moments of 2008 with.

Cheers my girlfriends, may our sisterhood go on a long way.

New Year, New Resolutions.
So what's yours? :)

May this be a great year for all!

and take away all my fears, will you?

2008-12-30T09:08:00.003+08:00

With just two days left of 2008, what are some of the things that makes you happy? What are some that don't? And it's time to reflect, yet again.

And it was a walk to remember.

And it's Christmas, baby!

2008-12-25T17:10:00.003+08:00

and it's the sweetest thing
how can i stand here next to you and not be moved by you.

2008-12-23T12:23:00.005+08:00

Be my strength
Be my smile
Be my pillar
To lean for a while

Pick me up
If I should fall.
For I'm not sure
How long I can stand tall.

And where's the moment when needed the most?
I close my eyes just to pray for better days.

2008-12-18T23:08:00.005+08:00

It has come to a point where I can no longer differentiate right from wrong; white from black. Incompetency? Maybe. Even being a goody-two-shoes goes no where perhaps. Can't wait for it to be over.

Happy thoughts in demand!

'I just wanna scream and lose control
Throw my hands up and let it go
Forget about everything and runaway.'

2008-12-15T09:17:00.002+08:00

"At some point, you have to make a decision. Boundaries don't keep other people out. They fence you in. Life is messy. That's how we're made. So, you can waste your lives drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them. But there are some lines... that are way too dangerous to cross." - Dr Meredith Grey

2008-12-13T10:22:00.002+08:00

This song kinda caught my attention.

2 months to 2-3

2008-12-12T22:55:00.003+08:00

Love looking at things from a different perspective, a different light. Even when things do not seem to go my way, optimism will pave it for me. There may be times when it gets so mental that it wears me out, random thoughts will cheer me some. I am thankful for the love around me. Family and friends, never failed to make my day complete. Stress and frustrations maybe part and parcel, but hey, always look on the bright side of life. :)

And just like me, they long to be, close to you.

2008-12-09T23:37:00.004+08:00

Shrewd, bitchy, skeptical - Are these all part and parcel of growing up? Or are they just simply 'lifeskills' learnt to protect oneself? Confused about what's right and what's not. Nothing but a thin grey line. I don't want to be caught up in a cookie-cutter world. Losing myself day by day, it's scary to realise what's becoming of me. Though I still stand by my rights, I ought to be stronger. Yes, a lot more.

'You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm
You gotta stay together'
A reminder for self? Maybe. But that's how the way the cookie crumbles.

And she's falling to pieces.

Blistery Happy

2008-12-07T22:15:00.000+08:00

Congrates to all those who completed 42.195km at StandChart Marathon this year. Complete not compete is the way to the game. Many asked, "So when's your turn to run a full marathon?" Soon enough, I guess. The thought of it scares me some.

Took over Jane's tag to run due to her injuries. Felt great pacing with Lionel and Han Xiang during the 10km run. We started together, we ended together. Good run guys!

And just keep running.

2008-12-02T23:50:00.001+08:00

And she just realised that she is no superhero.

Little superhero girl? She thought to herself, and laughed.

2008-11-27T11:57:00.001+08:00

How long more can I endure?
How far can I go?
I need my BIG BREAK.
Am losing the patience.

2008-11-27T09:22:00.002+08:00

Morals vs Human Action
What is the becoming of this society?
Utter disappointment.
Fiddlesticks.
Time to move on.

and respect me for I want to be able to sleep at night.

2008-11-26T23:30:00.001+08:00

You believed in us
and spurred us on
many thanks for the faith
and encouragements on us.
Thank you COACH!

Lisa came, as she promised!
We are waiting for your return, girl.
Can't wait for the reunion of the four of us.

All the sweat and tears and smiles and laughters and all the good times together. Let's stick together through thick and thin, bring our team to another level for HAPPINESS is our game.

Many thanks for the constant encouragements, for me to be a better rower or a better drummer for this race.Thanks for everything, boys!

Congrates to the guys for the achievement in Men's Open and Interclub.
Congrates to the ladies for Mix too.
Let's do this together, to greater heights!
TOGETHER!

2008-11-25T08:38:00.006+08:00

Hearts a beating
Sweats a dripping
Inch by Inch
Stroke by Stroke

To Surge forward
And Conquer every test
Just so to be
The very best

One said, 'Believe and you can make it'
Another said, 'Believe'
In my heart and mind,
'Just Believe'

There'll be no more tears
No more hesitation
Just simply Feel Good
Just Good Sets

They Conquered like
Brave warriors
With tears of Joy
At the brink.

Now, my fellow comrades
my fellow camaraderie
Let's pump in more adrenaline
And continue the Legacy.

Stay Humble
Stay Hungry
We will get there.

Welcome to the Family!

2008-11-20T23:56:00.002+08:00

The wedding bells are ringing.
Kor's finally married!
Simply a joyous occasion for the whole family.
All smiles are laughters filled the air.
Love is in the air!

Congratulations Kor!

ROM pictures coming up soon!

and tears of joy filled her smiley eyes as she witnessed the matrimony.

2008-11-17T14:59:00.004+08:00

Many thanks to all the care and concerns that were showered upon me during my sickly weeks. Much appreciated.

5 more days to showdown.

2008-11-14T17:14:00.002+08:00

The smell of freedom is ever sweet.
Finally am done with the toughest module of this course.
1 down 7 more modules to go.
10 days for me to catch my breath before I hope on another bullet train. Meanwhile, need to train hard for REGATTA.

Countdown to 8 days.

2008-11-13T13:53:00.001+08:00

Tagboard's missing!!
Think I'll fix it tomorrow after my paper.
Blog-noob. ugh.

2008-11-11T16:37:00.002+08:00

Been sniffing and sneezing lately, hope this clears up the soonest. Have a paper this FRIDAY! Time to get your act together Eunice! No more time to waste! =/

The least expected person actually appeared on my messenger list last night, after months of 'disappearing act'. Thou shalt not initiate any messages. I shall stand by my words. Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn. Forgive yes, forget maybe. But for this particular case, sorry sir, you messed with the wrong girl's heart.

That aside, Regatta's just slightly 2 weeks away! Been feeling really guilty that I haven't been down for land trainings due to school commitments. Imagine the amount of strength and stamina lost. Need to find them back. PRONTO. But of course need to clear the major obstacle on Friday.

2 more sea trainings
4 more land trainings
can she make it
for the loss of time?

2008-11-09T23:05:00.002+08:00

Flushed-red cheeks
semi-blocked nose
sawdusted throat
air-light head

It's been a week, when will it clear up?
Where's my immunity?

Germs leave me alone.

2008-11-08T23:18:00.001+08:00

Too little, too late
'nuff said.

2008-11-07T01:31:00.008+08:00

WE DID IT! And we breezed the presentation through. -phew-
All the late nights, all the struggles, all the frustrations were all worthwhile.Simply heart the seven of us, simply heart weEmarket.

and now, THE LAST LAP! ;)

2008-11-05T15:19:00.005+08:00

D day tomorrow!

and I can do it!

Trick or Treat!

2008-11-03T13:44:00.017+08:00

It's time to dress up! And hopefully scare the hell out of others. ;)

van's failed attempts of being a bee!

as compared to the authentic little one

from the 'macho' Flintstone family

to the cute gnomes

to the geeks, schoolgirls, witch, hippy, lara croft and gothic lolita

and not forgetting small boy's failed impersonation of MCR.
'where's your red tie?!'

till the next gathering!

2008-11-03T00:22:00.004+08:00

and I thank God for them who keep me sane.

Only Time will Tell

2008-10-28T11:30:00.004+08:00

Fragile as a child
Steps were taken little by little
Further and further behind.
Leaving nothing but a shadow.

Is it too late?
Has the train left?
It's hard to state
of this time and date.

Hopping into the Time Machine
It's up to her to turn back time
En route to a journey unknown
Will it be full of happiness and dime?

Just as she was about
To hope on the Time Machine,
The train had left.
In search of its own paradise.

2008-10-17T14:37:00.000+08:00

How does it feel when you feel nothing but almost hostility from someone whom you ever cherished so much, someone you ever loved so dearly? Certainly did not feel good.

How does it feel when there's no purpose, no goal, no sense of satisfaction everyday? When daily tasks seem like a chore and you work based on ad-hoc basis. Quit?

I have no answers to those questions.

and when everything seems so bleak.

Everything In Its Time

2008-10-07T09:29:00.005+08:00

And what the future holds
No one knows.
For everything in its time,
And that shouldn't cost a dime.

'The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold on to patience and watch for the sign
Everything in its time'

Suffering from the aftermath of sunday's training.
8 sets of 1km rowing with the guys.
Quite an acheivement.
Need to run more, stamina's dropping.
Can feel it, losing my peak.

Need more time for studies, family, self.
Project's been taking a toil from all of us.
Draining every bit of of energy, sucking us dry.
Slowly. Little by little. Fustration creeping in.
Haunting us, depriving us of our forty winks.
All thanks to this paper-chase society.

and do you hear my cry?

A Tinge of Melancholy

2008-10-05T23:19:00.004+08:00

He's always there,
All out to show the girl
He truly cares.
And that he only
Had his eyes on her
Nothing else will
Make him beg to differ.

Others said,
'She's not for you.'
You're not her type'
'Don't be a lovefool.'
But he tried his best;
To win her heart,
That's an ultimate test.

Perhaps she wasn't ready
Maybe she doesn't know.
But feelings were fading
Knowing that it's a no.
But everything's too late,
Somehow or other
His heart's already dead.

and it slipped away.

Lil' Superhero Girl

2008-10-03T12:38:00.003+08:00

Still trying to get used to the work-studies life. Trying hard to open my heavy eyelids in office from the aftermath of night classes. Even having plugged-in in one ear can't seem to work. So many things happening lately, burning out, slowly. But wait, it's only the beginning.

'I feel like a little girl
Trying to conquer the whole wide world
Everybody wants a piece of me
And I just don't know where to turn
I've got work piled up to my head
All I want to do is jump into bed
And wash away my troubles
with lemonade'

'All I need is a good disguise
One where nobody can recognise
That I'm feeling so small
All I need is a secret weapon
I've gotta have faith
Zapping monsters into outer space
I'm gonna be a Superhero'

I need my source of strength, will it be from you?

and nobody said it was easy

2008-10-02T13:11:00.002+08:00

Your so-called professnalism and leadership simply urks me to the core. And I wish you much luck in witnessing the 'landslides'.

And it's time.

Birthday Cheers :)

2008-10-01T03:17:00.011+08:00

Dad's birthday was on Monday, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY! :)

Had a mini celebration for him on Sunday. A simple affair at our humble abode.

We may argue. Have our differences, different point of views and perspectives. We may drive each other crazy at times but deep inside we know we care for one another, a lot. Thank you dad, for being our sole pillar through the tough times. And may you be blessed with good health and happiness every single day of your life. :)

Last but not least, let's put a smile on your face.

And that's my goofball brother. =P

And his smile was what made it all worthwhile.

It is not always a bed of roses.

2008-09-29T22:12:00.011+08:00

Perhaps the post before this was a tad too early. Life is unpredictable anyway.

The conversation between an employee and her boss:

'There's something I need to talk to you about.'
'It's gonna be my 2nd year in November.'

'You wanna ask about pay increment?'

'Sorry but there might not be any increment or pay review.'

'The management might want to have a pay freeze'

'The company hasn't been making money so there won't be any increment.'

'There might be a revision for the support staff.'

(and the grandfather story goes on)

'So, what is the marketing direction then?'

'Right now, there isn't much of a workload for the sales is slowing down.'

'I've asked before if the workload is a lot that we need to hire 2 marcom executives'

'OK... ...'

And he keeps talking,

'So, what is your plan now?'

Well, the above conversation was edited and obviously she has to be prepared for the worst. Seriously, does she even bother about all the grandfather stories? She does not care a single bit about what happened 5/10 years ago. She wants her future. She wants an advancement. She needs a direction. Simple words said yet with hidden meanings. That is the corporate world for her. Leave the ship before it becomes a submarine.

And behind her smile, lies a million daggers in her eyes.

May things remain as it is

2008-09-29T17:23:00.002+08:00

Things have been going smoothly! Project proposal for school, marketing plan for work, though all these need a little fine tuning. Wll, lest the direction is there! ;) More updates tonight!

back to work!

It is only the beginning.

2008-09-28T02:11:00.003+08:00

Time check 2.10 am. Finally managed to churn out the proposal. To think it is only the 2nd lecture and school work's piling up. Deadlines to meet, discussions to handle. However, it's a whole new ball game all together. It's been two years since I went through the hectic lifestyle of a student. Staying up late for projects used to be the norm. Can foresee more to come. =/Am no longer under the shelters of the polytechnic systems but under the rough cuts of a part time university life. Need to adapt to it fast or I'll be lagging seriously.

I foresee myself typing down random ramblings, rantings, writings, what-nots here. Well, somehow this is my only platform for a shout-out? :)

time to catch some winks.

The Heat is on!

2008-09-27T13:42:00.003+08:00

This is a story of a girl, who cried a river and drowned the whole world - well not exactly.

It is challenging just having to juggle work and studies, with the random psychoing of self that 'I can do it!' You have no idea how many times a day I have to actually prep talk myself to get pass the day. Now that studies are in place, trainings are now kind of on hold for me. I sure miss the rustic smell of bars and weights and of course perspiration filled air. =/ Just hope my team will not forget me! Perhaps a few cameo appearences shall do the trick.

Now that 1st week of lectures are over. The heat is on! Time for some major thinking cap sessions. Deadline's next tuesday!

and may God bless the randomly-stressed up-me

Gentlemen, start your engines.

2008-09-26T16:02:00.002+08:00

FINALLY, managed to get this humble blog up and running. To think about it, it's been almost 5 years since I had a public blog! Pardon me on the initial unglam layout, it shall get better. *fingers crossing*

Everyone's blogging, everyone's reading. So what is a blog?
According to dictionary.com, the definition is simply, 'an online diary; a personal chronological log of thoughts published on a Web page; also called Weblog'

To me, it's simply, all about thoughts, drama, perspectives, LIFE.
What's your definition?

A song of life.
