And so, to begin with, I met up with my darlings for dinner last week! (*Ahem, I know it's a little late but, well... Better late than never maybe?)
I started with meeting Belle after work, and we did a little bit of shopping, always fun to shop with her! Looking forward to more girl! =D
After which nana joined us, and we went to sit in at Bombers while waiting for teacher Ning to arrive.. While waiting for her, we ordered this party platter to fill our hungry tummies. Didn't get to take a picture of that before it was hungrily devoured by us, but this was pretty much what was left of it by the time Ning arrived:
When Ning arrived, we ordered our food, and while waiting for our food to be served, we humoured ourselves by talking (Not so loudly) and watching our dearest Ning enjoy her food!
It only took a while for the food to come...
Belle ordered this famous burger
Ning ordered a really big burger
Nana ordered a ribs and chicken combo
And yours truly, ordered a fried honey chicken dish
And so, the four of us tried our super sinful (Not to mention hair-falling-MSG-Filled) dishes, which were quite delectable, but left us thirsty for the rest of the evening... Bombers would be a good place to chill, but I'm not so sure if i wanna to leave that place and feel thirsty for the rest of the night...
But nevertheless, we ladies enjoyed our evening, not because of the food, but because of the company and laughter we've been missing our for such a long long time...

Yes, I know the last time i've blogged was like, 2 months ago! Thngs have been really crazy and I can't imagine that 2 months have actually crept past me without me even knowing! Look, I know i've promised reviews but well, I guess I haven't been able to do it after all... But hopefully things would change and I can go back to blogging again as I will be going (Officially) to the Bugis branch in just a matter of 1 week! New challenges would certainly be in store for me as I would be doing the scope of which i'm not really familiar with. But whatever is to come, I am ready to face it!
There are so many things i wanna update! Latest Movies i've caught, pictures i've taken during my alpha training, catching up with my wonderful girls... Music i've listened to... Gosh... Now i see how encased I've been with my work, I've forgotten time for myself, and I mean, MY-SELF...
It's coming 2am in the morning, and i'm supposed to be up for work by 4.45am... W-H-Y am I not sleeping, you may ask... Well....
I slept till 3Pm today... So that answers...
Anyhow, I hope i'll be able to keep blogging on track, someone inside me, just keeps calling out, "What have you been doing? Why aren't you blogging??"
Probably, just probably, That's the old me... The old me that I have lost since i've stepped out into the working world..
This year, I feel i've seen and heard alot. People out there are just not as simple as you may think they are.So much so that you really don't know who you should trust, and who you shouldn't.
That's why, I feel, it's always better to trust yourself, rather than anyone else..

Recently i've been listening to a few new albums. Some of whom we've seen before, and also new faces to the industry. Heart-throb singer Gareth Gates has just released his new album recently, named "Pictures on the other side"
This new album sees a different side of Gates, former runner up of Pop Idol. Rather than the melanchoic music he normally sings, he tries out a new style of music which showcases a rustic, husky voice. Different, but kind of brings out a different side of him. He's no longer the boyish singer that we used to know from the Anyone of us Generation.
But if you were once a fan of his music a number of years back, you would be missing his old style, but of course, embracing this new side of him, as he still makes this different genre of music sound good!
My rating? I'd give it 3 half out of 5 stars.
Another budding star we may want to take into notice would be the one who took the title of American Idol few seasons back - Jordin Sparks, with her debut album named after herself!
Hit songs like Tattoo, This is my Now and the recent duet with Chris Brown, No Air have taken this budding young star, with ordinary looks but with a beautiful voice, to greater heights.
However, there were some songs in the album that fit her vocal range, but not so much of her style of music that many would enjoy. Not gonna name which, you'll have to get the album to find out!
My rating? I'd give it 4half out of 5 stars. Definitely a album worth getting!
Looking out for new albums along the way, hope this keeps going! ;)
Till then~

At last, after a long long while, i'm blogging again!
So much has been happening lately, and it's difficult to put into words
Just that there have been plenty of emotional turmoils...
First off is the long standing hours and crazy shifts at work
Next off, well, is rather personal, so i would rather be mum about it...
We're all going different ways, working life is so much different than in poly. Maybe local kiddos are really to protected in this "canned" and "ready-made" environment. We have almost everything ready for us, everyone's soft on the inside... just like roasted marshmellows...
But whatever the challenges, i'll want to do well in my career, and life as well...
I'm being Ambitious. I am ambitious!

I came across this song recently, and I felt it was a really beautiful song. However in the midst of these beautiful lyrics, there is also doubt involved. It was a really moving song, something different from the hot and steamy music that has been broadcasting in radios recently. May look cheesy to some, but i guess that's what we all need once in awhile. To those who haven't listened to it before, check out the song
hereSometimes you can't help but feel that you are alone, that there is no one there to back you up in no matter what you do. You get tired along the way, but circumstances would tell you that you've to move on due to all those around you. Even when you know that there are people there for you, around you, no one can ever understand your innermost self, not even yourself. Understanding yourself before you understand others is probably what should come first. Knowing what you want and setting your priorities straight is another.
Till now, I don't know what I want, where I'm headed towards, or whether I am walking towards the right track. But I will take the risk and walk forward, never looking back. After all, we never know what would happen in the future.
Would you be there - Redwan Ali
If I were blue, would you be there for me,
And whisper in my ears that's ok.
Would you stand by me, let me hold you tight,
And say you love me one more time.
If I feel good would you slow dance with me
And touch my lips with tender loving care
Would you die for me would you run with me
And never look back
Would you be there to love to be with me
Would you swear that your love is always true
Would you say that you'll always be the one
To take my breath away
Would you be there to love to be with me
Would you swear that your love is always true
Would you say that you'll always be the one
To take my breath away
Would you be there
If I'm away would you still think of me
And wish that you could hold me now (Hold me now)
Would you die for me would you run with me
All the way
Would you be there to love to be with me
Would you swear that your love is always true
Would you say that you'll always be the one
To take my breath away
Would you be there to save my soul tonight (Save my soul tonight)
Would you swear that your love is always true
Would you say that you'll always be there
To kiss my pain away
Would you be there to love to be with me
Would you swear that your love is always true
Would you say that you'll always be the one
To take my breath away
Would you be there to save my soul tonight (Save my soul tonight)
Would you swear that your love is always true
Would you say that you'll always be there
To kiss my pain away
Would you be there
For me

Today was a great day spent with my gals, we talked alot about the past, present and the future. After graduation, each stage you pass in your life, you tend to think back and reflect alot, about things that happened in the past, the present, and look forward to what's in store for the future. =)
With every road you take, there are choices to make. Be it in jobs, relationships, friendships, everything is made up of choices! Which is what make things in life exciting, as every choice would bring aout different outcomes.
There are times, though, where you may make choices that are wrong, but you are not aware of at the moment. You never know, until you try.
Choices, whether right or wrong, are there to guide and lead you to make another step in life. Another life experience that you would be able to pass down to your children and grandchildren in the future. So you can tell them that you've been there, done that.
Never be afraid to try, but always remember who you are, what you want, what you believe in. There are times when I may seem to choose the wrong paths to take, and I value that my friends are always there to give me support.
My dears, Don't worry about how things will turn out for me, I know who I am and I understand your fears. But rest assured that I will not do things that are immorally against my own values, and I know what I am doing. Your opinions, are always much valued by me, and I really cherish you guys loads. I know you all are there for me, just as I always will be to you gals!
Never be afraid to try out things that you want to try, so you would not regret in life. My girl, Never allow negative responses to dampen your belief and confidence. You can do it and i'm sure you'll make it far. Allow others to say what they want to, but never lose confidence in yourself. Will always be there for you and you know it! Us gals will be there to pull you out of the fire before you know it! =)
I'm blessed, no matter how bad life becomes, I'm blessed because I've got my friends with me.

Sometimes I wonder why I lack the courage to tell people how i really feel deep inside. It makes me feel shallow and lousy inside.
Why is it so easy for people to tell others how they really feel, wheras it happens to be the opposite for me?
I know I don't like to keep things bottled up, But why is it that when i want to tell someone something, it just gets stuck in my bloody throat?
At times I feel that, even I, do not understand myself enough. I don't know what I want, and I can never express myself clearly.
Damn...
