I'm supposed to be doing my logbook now, and faithfully do so everyday, because I wanna have enough time to spend with my darlings when they come back. But I can't seem to get myself started! I keep doing all sorts of things, like checking mail, listening to Connie Talbot, talking to Evon... Aiyoh!
Ok! I am going to get started now, otherwise there'll be a mad rush next week again to complete it. Bye!

蔷蔷
I found this song while reading Jareen's blog. Omg... the song's so sad! It made me cry so much as I was watching the music videos. The song is a tribute to Ella's dog, 蔷蔷, who passed away last year. I think it was after SHE toured Singapore that he died, coz she didn't perform this song while she was here... Anyway, hope you like the song!

ahhhh
Oh man, I sooo know that I'm supposed to be updating my eLogBook right now, but I keep getting distracted from it. It's so troublesome to keep updating it! I have to keep trying to think of ways to phrase what I learnt, but there are some things that we do and experience that are so hard to put into words! How do you tell them that you really did learn something from tidying up the pantry today? I know I learnt something from it, but it's hard to put it into words and make it sound like a significant thing that I learnt. It's significant to me, sure, but how do I let the reader know how much it affected me.
This is why, I think I have a love-hate relationship with words. Words can so easily disguise the true intention of the writer, and yet, without words, it is so hard to articulate even the basic meaning of what we want to let the other party know. Sometimes, what I say sounds too over the top, but that's the best way I can put things to let the other party know how much that action touched me. In times like this, I guess it's hard to express how I feel, but I just want the other person to know how much I appreciate it, because sometimes, it's hard for the other person to tell, and I want to make it known to the person that I had noticed it, and really appreciated the effort. But I know, too, that it's too over the top, too. But that's how happy you made me, seriously.
And I realise now I'm actually not turning back to my logbook. Argh. The faster I get this done, the faster I can turn my attention to other things! Gotta get my eyes on Microsoft Word now. Wish me luck!

Tagged
Rules:
People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blogs and replace any question that they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves.
Tag 8 people to do this quiz & those who are tagged cant refuse. These people must state who they were tagged by and cannot tag the person who they were tagged by.
#1. If your lover betrayed you, what will your reaction be?
Depends on the betrayal, really. If it's two-timing, I'll wonder what went wrong, then say byebye to him. Don't think I can trust him another time...
#2. If you can have a dream to come true, what would it be?
That I can be content with what I have and just be happy. Haha sounds very politically correct, I know, but I'm sick of always thinking of trying to get ahead in the rat race.
#3. What will your dream wedding be like?
I like this question! Haha... As many people will know, it'll be a garden wedding, held in the day, and instead of a 10-course meal or however many courses, I'll have many carts around the garden, where the chefs will cook your food on the spot. No need to wear nice nice, coz it's a garden wedding, and there sure as hell won't be any shark's fin! Thenthenthen... Ah, there'll be a father-daughter dance... imagine little girls dancing with their fathers... so sweet!
#4. Are you confused as to what lies ahead of you?
Not really.
#5. What's your ideal lover like?
A family person, tries to make me feel secure, always there for me, doing little things to let me know I'm always on his mind, making the effort to know my family... Oh wait, I think there's someone like that already... ;)
#6. Which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone?
Being loved.
#7. What do you see yourself as?
Goodness, I really don't know how to answer this kind of question... Well I see myself as someone who tries to accommodate others, to the extent that sometimes I let myself get taken advantage of. Well don't think I don't know I'm being taken advantage of, I'm aware of it, just that sometimes I can't be bothered to confront them about it. Ah, and I do try to make people's expectations come true. If someone thinks I'm blur and don't really know what's going on, or not very bright, I'll continue behaving this way. After all, if in the first place they thought of me like that, it means they aren't looking at me in a very positive light, are they? So would they be convinced that I'm not as blur as they think if I were to show otherwise? So should I even bother? Nah... I'll save my energy. For all you know, I can turn it to my advantage. Hah!
#8. If the person you secretly like is already attached, what would you do?
In the first place, I think if I knew someone was attached, I'd keep my distance... But if there is such a scenario, I think I'd try to keep the hell away from him.
#9. Is there anything that has made you unhappy these days?
If it was unhappy, I don't think I want to talk about it anymore.
#10. If you had a choice, what kind of family you want to be born into?
The same one.
#11. Is being tagged fun?
Well, seeing as I've been thinking of what to write about to ripple my blog, I'd say this came at the right time. =)
#12. How do you see yourself in ten years time?
Having a family, working in a career I am working towards now.
#13. Who are currently the most important people to you?
Family, friends, Kok Yong. In no particular order. They all have the same rank.
#14. What kind of person do you think the person who tagged you is?
Ook, Si Wei was the one who tagged me. I'd say she's an open-minded person, who has a large depth for understanding others. I mean, I've blown her off appointments so many million times, and goodness knows that almost everytime we go out together something ALWAYS has to happen to cut shop our meeting- inappropriate shoes that made me unable to walk for long, stupid cramps that made me have to go home, and so much more, but Si Wei has been really understanding all this time, and I'm really touched because of that. I think she places her friends high on her priority list, and she's a good friend too! Hmm... but I guess sometimes she's a little too straightforward, so she might rub people the wrong way with the things she says... Overall, though, she's a great person. =)
#15. Would you rather be single and rich or married but poor?
Married but poor, but the partner has to be someone I want to spend the rest of my life with.
#16. What's the first thing you do every morning?
Look at my handphone, see the time, and sleep for another 20 minutes.
#17. Would you give all in a relationship?
Yes. If it's the right person/people.
#18. Do you live to love, live to hate or live for the sake of living?
I don't know. I think I want to live to see how my life turns out. I can't stand stories that end halfway. So you won't see me committing suicide. That's too anticlimatic. And I don't want to die all ugly and bloodied. Eeew.
#19. What type of friends do you like?
Someone who doesn't put me down all the time, be there for me when I need him/her, be open-minded. Actually, it's the presence that matters... Some people, you just feel that you can click with them, and never feel bored when you are talking or hanging out with them.
#20. What type of friends do you dislike?
I think this question's quite misleading... how do I be friends with people I dislike? Hmm... ok but to be fair, for those I don't really like, I'll still be civil to them, until they really get on my nerves, then I'll get quiet and get all blur. Better to be blur and not explode and do something I'll regret, I feel.
Anyway, people who get on my nerves are those who talk about their problems, but never seem to do anything about it. Like, do something about it, if they find the situation unbearable! Or seek help or something. Erm... and backstabbers, and people who play politics, and those who impose themselves on others and have no inkling that they're doing so. And those who hint hint at things they want you to do, such that you feel obligated to help them, and when you offer to help them, they try to act all magnanimous and long-suffering and say, "oh, it's too troublesome for you, it's ok lar, I'll do it another time... it's so heavy, I'll do it another day..." OMG. If you need help, just say it, no need to go around the bush like this. I don't know what you want. Well, I do. I know you're hinting for help, but you talking like that after I've offered my help doesn't make things any easier. It just wastes more time, and it becomes me persuading you to let me help. I don't have the energy to play this game, seriously. I've got other things to do.
ITS YOUR TURN NOW!!
Well I'm supposed to tag 8 people, but you know what? I'm not going to do it. I don't have 8 people to tag. So if you're interested in doing this, please feel free to! =)
