last night, i rode pillion on a motorbike for the first time in my life. it was scary, honestly. i was clinging onto jack for my dear life. it didnt really help things that he was speeding most of e way and had a tendency for sharp turns and the kinda swerving that u have to swing ur whole body to the side for. and we very nearly ran into the back of a truck that stopped suddenly at a traffic light la. he had to swerve dangerously to avoid the bloody obstruction. and annoyingly, he kept trying to outspeed melvin. which is not really a good idea when u have a totally noob pillion rider sitting behind you. i believe he diligently ignored me when i shouted that i wanted to get there and live to tell the tale. cant tell you how thankful i was when we reached our destination in one piece.
and of course, im thankful to him for giving me the honour of riding on his gorgeous bike :) supper was good, my treat. my colleagues rock man, literally :)
oh and i suddenly realized when i was on e bike, that i was living. biking is not my life or passion, definitely, but i felt alive when we were speeding through the roads, the wind making a mess of our hair and freezing my arms off. maybe, im closer to discovering what i live for.
i need to find sth constructive to do with my days.

my first lazy day in awhile. feels good.
my 'what do we live for' list is still empty. okay i admit it sounds weird to have such a list. but theres a rationale behind it okay. you see, because im going to have so much time, i need to find sth useful to do with my time. so where do u start finding sth useful from? by first deciding what is going to satisfy you. what satisfies you? knowing you are doing sth worthwhile. and how do you know what is sth worthwhile? by first knowing what we slog on earth for. hence, the list.
i started e list at e pbso. i wrote 1. den i was stuck. so i asked the two people closest [physically and otherwise ;)] to me at e time, charm and steve. charm said immediately, for freedom, truth, beauty and love, the bohemian motto! i didnt write that down though. because it sounds so idealistic! and honestly, i dont think thats what i live for. maybe some parts of it, but definitely not the whole freedom-truth-beauty-love package. meanwhile, i haven discovered what exactly i live for yet. i'll let u guys know when i do, but i hope its not the kinda qn u only discover the answer to at your deathbed. let me know if u guys have any ideas!
have a good week ahead! and live well :)

we're coming to the end of another week. isnt it scary how the weeks slip by so quickly? but i dont feel they pass as fast as last time when i was working. coz now every day is different, i cant blame e lack of time for not doing stuff i shld do. and every day is a new day! which is really interesting, and every week i get to do stuff that i want to do! i think im gonna enjoy this period. its rather troublesome having to plan a new schedule every day/week but e flexibility is well worth it :) and actually its only about four more months to the start of school, so make e most of your time everyone!
but e downside is i hardly get to see my friends/family nowadays. coz i work three times a week at night. i do enjoy working though, so im not about to quit. and i ended my day job on tuesday so....... all e more time for me! haha. between driving lessons and working at night, there isnt actually much time to kill. and most people i know actually have to work in the day, so i always end up seeing the same [jobless!] people. not that im complaining, i love you guys! but i do wonder how my other friends are doing. hahaha. update me guys! pls bother to keep in touch!
but its rather sad coz im about to lose another friend to tekong. tmr, the two musketeers will bid our third musketeer goodbye for now. we will miss him, but we're proud of him for playing his part in keeping us [and our families!] safe! arent we, charm? hahahaha. dont worry stevie, we'll keep u updated and take good care of our doggies! lol. they'll still be ard when u come out, hopefully ;)
but on e other hand, we are welcoming anghong back from tekong! aww thats awesome too :) welcome back to civilisation in advance, anghong! hahahaha.
today was a good day for shopping. i finally bought my flats :) they're purple! haha. and they are beautiful. lol. and charm got two pairs of shoes! really, awesomely, take-your-breath-away, beautiful shoes too. yayyy :) retail therapy rocks man. i so feel like going back to look at somemore shoes :) can we ever have enough shoes? haha.
okay thats all for now. enjoy the upcoming weekend! live well :)

this has been one hectic week. i keep trying to update but i never have time to type out my entire post so it keeps getting saved as a draft. haha. nvm i shall do a quick update.
i realised i actually really enjoy hectic weeks. i think im e kind that needs to keep moving and doing stuff. haha nvm ive always known im no good at theoretical fantasizing in a comfy armchair :) and of course focussing on the task in front of you leaves you no room to think about what could have been, what should be, and what will be. im really good at thinking too much and keeping busy is a really good cure for that :) moving on.
ive actually learnt alot this week, and made alot of new friends/colleagues. ive started working/helping out/being part of the furniture at the pro bono services office, along with our dearest charm and steven. besides adding alot more noise to the office and taking up one whole cubicle [yes, the three of us in one cubicle with one laptop between us! what do u think e situation is like? chaotic!], we've learnt a fair bit. its a diff side you hardly get to see if you keep working in firms. our other colleagues are nice, tolerant of the noise [most of the time anyway], and we have more company for lunch! and there is alot of food around people's park. yumyum. not sure how long we will be there but we'll enjoy it as long as it lasts! haha. thats been my day job for this week.
at night, three days a week, i transform into waitress ming. i was pretty scared on my first day coz yeah, it was my first day. and my first time in f & b, so they call it. first day was a hell lot to learn and remember and use, but i think im getting the hang of it. colleagues are nice, i think they will become friends. downside is ive been sleep deprived this week. because i work till eleven, get home around twelve, sleep around one, and wake up at 730 to go to the sub courts. one night i even had a drink with my colleagues and only got to sleep at two plus. waking up the next day was a living hell, i tell you. its not very possible to work a day job and a part time night job at the same time and do both well. luckily neither is extremely draining so im still surviving :) i wldnt recommend it though. today was e first day this week ive actually seen my siblings. the rest of e days they're alr asleep when i get home. its like, hello, strangers. and next week is going to be another week of the same! only slightly more busy coz ive booked driving lessons from tues to fri. hmm. that means i'll be running to three places a day on some days. hmm.
oh oh and i had my first practical driving lesson on thurs. ask me if you want the exact details, its way too long a story to type out. but basically it was rather entertaining. i think e instructor thought i was amusing. im looking forward to my nxt lesson! hope i can still rmbr what it is im supposed to rmbr.
fri night was good. eunice and i tried crab shack. now she finally believes its really an eating place, not some dubious looking coffeeshop with a crabshack sign. hahahaha. it was good, honestly. give it a try if u have e chance. nothing much to say for the ambience, but the food is still okay. went over to thomson plaza after that and i nearly didnt recognize it la. theres even a munchy's donuts in there. no, really. its changed quite abit. main tenants like swensen's is still there but other tenants are quite diff now. oh and we saw tammy! there was an awkward moment but its nice to see someone u know in unexpected places :)
today, eunice and i [again! i love you dear. hahahaha.] went to bugis on the quest for the cheap, nice, covered flats that come in size 40. hmm. saw countless pairs of shoes and tried on quite a few, and i was reminded of why im not a big shoe-buyer. all the shoes on display are size 36/37. its a hassle to get e salesperson to bring out a size 40 for me, more so when e salesperson is busy seeing as its a weekend. and most of e time i end up not getting the shoes, for alot of diff reasons, some entirely unexplainable. why cant everyone have big feet too! oh well. in e end we went home with a really expensive glitter eyeshadow for me. it was the sales assistant's anne hathaway eyes that did me in, honestly. how can u say no to such eyes?!?!?!?!?!?!? haha. nvm at least we didnt go home empty handed :) although i did go home empty pocketed. lol. and we met two slightly high 'financial planners' from prudential. it was hilarious talking to them. they were so insistent but we stayed strong and resisted giving them our numbers! haha later they call us persistently with insurance for us to buy. hahaha. not entirely sure if they wanted our numbers for personal or business reasons, but nevertheless im sure we did the right thing :) theres always msn! lol.
all in all its been a pretty good week. its moved along at a frantic pace, compared to the previous week when i could update every day. but i like! really learnt alot, seen alot of different people, heard alot of different viewpoints, and had many interesting discussions. cheers to more good weeks to come :)
i wonder though, if keeping busy solves anything? the bad thoughts are still there haunting, but they are relegated to the background because we have to focus on the task at hand. they are temporarily swept under the carpet, or put in the closet. but will there come a time when there are too many skeletons in our closet? does tiring ourselves out endlessly day after day help to solve anything, does it make us a better person? hmm.
no answers here guys, i dont know either. let me know what you guys think!
enjoy the weekend guys, its only half over!

the weekend is ending. its going to be back to work on mon :( i guess i had enough time as a lady of leisure. its time to go back to the real world! haha. dont worry im not going to be working for long. u guys can call me out again soon! lol.
today after church i went with qi to e st gab's choir concert. last min kinda thing coz her friend ps-ed her. so i was e substitute. lol. e concert was surprisingly good, though the venue was abit out of the way. but its not that far from city hall actually. we shopped for awhile after that. and i had an ice cream cone :) andersen's rum and rasin is totally going into my list of things that are heaven.
i just saw these lyrics again. haven heard the song in a long while but it still strikes me that the lyrics are super sweet.
I'm Already ThereHe called her on the roadfrom a lonely cold hotel roomjust to hear her say I love you one more timebut when he heard the soundof the kids laughing in the backgroundhe had to wipe away a tear from his eyea little voice came on the phonesaid daddy when you coming homehe said the first thing that came to his mindI'm already theretake a look aroundI'm the sunshine in your hairI'm the shadow on the groundI'm the whisper in the windI'm your imaginary friendand I know I'm in your prayersoh I'm already thereShe got back on the phonesaid I really miss you darlingdon't worry about the kids they'll be alrightwish I was in your armslying right there beside youbut I know that I'll be in your dreams tonightand I'll gently kiss your lipstouch you with my fingertipsso turn out the lights and close your eyesI'm already theredon't make a soundI'm the beat in your heartI'm the moonlight shining downI'm the whisper in the windand I'll be there until the endcan you feel the love that we shareoh I'm already therewe may be a thousand miles apartbut I'll be with you wherever you areI'm already there take a look around I'm the sunshine in your hair I'm the shadow on the ground I'm the whisper in the windand I'll be there until the endcan you feel the love that we shareoh I'm already thereomg dont u think its super sweet! at times like this it always makes me wonder how love can be so strong, that you can actually feel it when the person is not even physically there. reminding me of which, i read this really heartbreaking book. actually i read half of it then i stopped. it was too sad. no, honestly. its called anybody out there by marian keyes. its really heartbreaking! its basically about this woman who was involved in a car accident with her husband. she was badly injured but she survived but her husband died. when you first read theres no explanation of the past before, it just jumps into her recuperating at her parents home. so for the longest time i thought that her boyfriend had just dumped her. until about halfway thru then they explained about the accident and all. the past events were kinda intertwined in the narration of whats going on now. so i didnt realise what actually happened until quite late. it was so heartbreaking. i hate reading books which dont have happy endings! kinda limits the books i read but i really dont like reading books that have no endings or sad endings. and i dont see how this book can end happily. i did read the last few pages though, just to see what happened. i think she saw a really beautiful moth [one of the signs she was waiting for] and i think her husband's ex girlfriend had his child or sth. oh well. i dont wanna know what happened in between. haha. it was really sad coz they were a really loving couple, and they were like really meant to be together. its depressing that he died so soon. yes, i know, its fiction. still it doesnt make it any less heartbreaking reading about how she tried to cope with his death. oh well. that was another example of a love so strong that i think its incredible.
how many people actually get to experience something like that in their lifetime? the really old couples still holding hands and helping each other along, the look they still have in their eyes when they look at each other, and the way they still smile the smile when they look at each other, it actually really amazes me. because, its a really long time. and as you know, time heals all wounds, but it also erodes at love and emotions, making people forget why they got married in the first place. the mundane takes over and flaws start to irritate the shit out of each other. is the love of an already divorced couple any different from the love that a loving old couple had? i think when they started out the love was the same. the same love that makes people get married. but over time, one couple worked at it and it worked for them [forgive the pun], but one couple neglected it and it eventually became some sort of monster that ate at them until they couldn't bear to stay tgt anymore. i think the difference lies in their attitude, since its their attitude that actually shapes what they did or didnt do. sigh. its like one of the wonders of the world. haha. thats the difference between the love you see between two young people holding hands and the love you see between two wrinkled and slightly deaf and blind with age people holding hands. its different. you can see it. young people love because they need each other. the old couple need each other because they love each other. its what and who you love. and of course the scariest is loving for the sake of being in love. but lets not end up there.
If you have it [Love], you don't need to have anything else, and if you don't have it, it doesn't matter much what else you have. -Sir James M. Barrie
how true. in e end you can't bring anything with you to your grave. the only thing you can do is to leave your love and legacy to live on through the others still here.
i miss my grandma :( she popped into my head randomly during church today. her absence is the biggest and worst feeling silence ive ever heard in my life.
we should stop assuming that people know we love them. actually even if they do we should still tell them that we love them. just to remind them, and im sure they'd like to hear it. at least i like to hear it. haha but im sure everyone does too :) actions speak louder than words, but words remind them of the actions we took and the love we have for them. so..........you guys know what to do! haha. say it, you dont wanna have anything to regret nxt time.
live well. and as always, i love you guys! have a good week ahead :)

yayy today is sat. its the third day in a row that ive woken up at freaking 630 in the morning too. im suffering from a severe lack of sleep now. haha.
haven been doing much recently. ytd we went to send anghong off to tekong. it was interesting seeing tekong after hearing so much about it. hahahha. looks pretty nice, or maybe thats just how e civilian-accessible place looks. but e whole exercise was pretty cool. im gonna miss our fellow angel! now we have to wait a long time before we can have a gac outing :( caroline, we're on our own! at least for now. hahahahaha. gac got any prob den e two of us must solve alr leh! no more counting on anghong for everything! hahaha. what problems does e gac ever face anyway? lol. still its always nice to have anghong ard just in case. oh well. time for us to grow up!
after e headache-inducing ride back to civilization, caroline and i went to look see look see at white sands. nothing much to see really, its like e pasir ris version of thomson plaza, more practical than anything. nearly ended up buying a black skirt though. i have to commend myself on the remarkable self-restraint shown :) then it was off to chijmes for me to find a gainful employment. its a long story actually but the bottomline is i found what i was looking for :) so you can now call me waitress ming. hahahhaha. kinda exciting to be going to waitress. im looking forward to it :) at night we ate din tai fung. which i have to say is entirely overrated. sorry but any place that has things like xiaolongpao but no hargao (!) is totally at the bottom of my fav food place list. and besides that the xiaolongpao filling tastes the same as my wanton filling. which is......not good, not good! haha okay in short im absolutely disappointed with the people queuing outside. go eat thaipan instead! haha that was random. but any place is better than there. go upstairs and eat dimsum at food republic also better la.
this morning i woke up at freaking 630 again. to go ntu for the wkwsci interview. admission test was okay but interview kinda sucked. we spent two hrs plus btwn the test and the interview stoning! resulting in me nearly falling asleep during the real interview. coz they interviewed 10 of us at one go so one person not being there mentally doesnt really make much diff. i was drifting away and trying to not yawn so obviously but i think e prof must have been wandering how come this girl looks like shes on drugs or sth, yawning away like that. and i hardly spoke a word throughout the whole thing la. the longest thing i said was "hi, my name is mingyee" and that was it. silence for the rest of the half hr or so. haha oh well. can smu pls just take me and put me out of my misery?!?! i woke up at freaking 630! [sorry but i just have to harp on that. you wld too if u woke up when it was still dark to get to freaking jurong by 9.]
eunice ps-ed me after the interview! we were supposed to go shopping! haha but i went on my own. actually i think it was better like that coz if she came with me i'd prob bore her to death by yawning incessantly. my brain was totally not conversational. so my dear, u made a good choice today to ps me ;) and i managed to get my black jeans. yes i know i totally abandoned my principles. but i need it for waitressing! as it is i didnt get the super tight kind. all e black jeans that i tried were e super tight kind but i didnt want sth so tight. so when i tried one pair that wasnt vacuum-packed to my legs i was damn happy. i wanted to jump in e changing room and shout this is it man!!!!! haha. i was actually quite okay shopping on my own. i think coz i was so tired my brain didnt even process that theres anything strange abt shopping on my own. i was just like black jeans, black jeans, where, how much, damnit i have no principles, black jeans, black jeans? haha. so yupp, perfectly fruitful shopping trip. next stop, raffles city! anyone up for it? hahaha.
im going to be employed from mon onwards. at least for nxt week la. the three musketeers are regrouping and heading down to CLAS to help [terrorize] them! looking forward to breakfasting and lunching with the other two musketeers :) hopefully theres a hans nearby yeah? that wld be absolute heaven :)
okay, that it for today folks. ming is a tired girl today. enjoy your weekend and rmbr ming loves you guys! hahahahaha.
then you wouldn't need to say you love mecoz i'd already know

have i ever said that i love watching spongebob squarepants? no, really. its more mature than you think. i dont think kids watching it get e whole meaning, honestly. its fascinating. its entertaining enough for kids but at the same time theres enough substance and philosophies to make adults wanna keep watching. the spongebob writers are really amazing! and the characters are so adorable and their conversations are way amusing :) okay in short, just watch it. its e best cartoon of all time :) to me, anyway.
the view at macritchie in e morning is nothing short of breathtaking. no honestly! you have to see it to believe it! when the sunlight touches the trees, and the treetops are framed by the brilliantly blue sky and the white clouds.................................then i remember why life is worth living. seeing the view every morning gives me hope actually. that somehow, we will all make it. i guess thats impt in this period of uncertainty. there is one destination, but there are many paths :)
okay thats enough randomness for today.
live well :)

ming is back. again! hahaha. gac chalet was good :) we met on mon at vivo, bought the stuff and went to find our hut. like caroline said, it was really a hutty hut. as in it was really a hut. the shape, the colour, and prob the insects too. too close to nature for me man. we decided that mon was going to be no handphone day. so we all left our handphones in e hut. that also meant we had no cameras, which we didnt realise at the time. so we dont have much photos except for those of us on the luge and later on when we took our phones out. pics later!
we took e luge three times! i liked e skyride esp. but it seemed to get progressively scarier. the last ride we were on it the whole thing stalled for damn many times. it was horrifying, swaying up there with nothing to hold on to. i felt so vulnerable to gravity's effects. other than that, the view was spectacular. and coming down on the luge was fun too! even though i was pretty slow and i nearly went deaf from the noise. and at night we had our bbq :) our long awaited bbq! now caroline cant say that we dont do e stuff we say we will do! we do it! we just take longer than average people only. but still done, thats all that matters :) the food caroline prepared was good, and it turned out pretty well cooked too :) cldnt finish all though, but i had enough strawberry fondue to last me the rest of my life. haha. rest of the night was downhill once the bacardi was opened. i rmbr playing one game of mahjong which i zha hu-ed. and showed everyone my tiles. haha that was e only game of mahjong we played. i much prefer truth or truth at times like this. my world was totally shattered with some of the revelations la. kinda hard to tell if everyone is serious when ur vision is blurry. haha nvm hearing is much more impt. we wandered the rest of the time. its a diff side of sentosa at night. when the moths, lizards and what not come out to play. lol. tues we had our subway breakfast and it was back to reality and pool :)
and i passed my btt today! yayy. my driving career is finally starting :)
went back to sn in e afternoon with jov. had lunch with yuyin too :) orange bowl is heaven as always. having blue pinafores running around me feels natural, somehow. i feel so like one of them that i honestly forget that im not wearing a pinafore too. it takes me awhile to wonder why these pple are looking at me for me to realize that its coz im not in a pinafore. i feel, and i act like im one of them. i suppose its hard to escape that. an sn girl is an sn girl, afterall :) going back to her natural habitat totally rewinds the years, she feels like shes sixteen again. haha talk abt anti-aging man!
thats all to update folks. enjoy e rest of e week! live well :)

ming is back to blog again. haha. quick one, its going to be time for our gac chalet :)
weekend was good. sat i went for a trial btt test. the system kinda strange to use but it was okay in e end. and i managed to find e place on my own! haha. and e whole place was so super crowded! i wasnt sure what to do actually. coz there were so many pple sitting ard and waiting. i was wondering whether i was supposed to take a queue number and sit down too. haha lucky i didnt. trial was okay. i passed! hope i pass on wed too. lol. if i fail then thats e end of my driving career man. i dont wanna wait another three months or so to take again la. its insane.
after that i went home for lunch. den i waited for eunice to call me and we went shopping! yayy. it was tiring rushing for the 132. i power-walked all the way to the bus stop you know! lucky there was a jam if not i wld have missed her bus :) reminds you of 132 at 630 during first three months, no? haha that was a pretty long time ago. but i hardly ever managed to catch her bus during that time. anyway. shopping was good. i got my trial watch! and we looked at pretty watches at swatch. makes me feel like getting one too :) and i converted eunice! okay not really converted but she agrees that peach tarts are heaven too :):):) yayy thats one more for peach tarts! hans shld pay me to be their ambassador you know. at e rate i convert people. haha. anyone else want to try e most heavenly peach tart in e world? call me! haha. anyway it rained when we were at hereen so we were kinda stuck. and i was kinda scared that we wld have to end up wading through orchard if it flooded like eunice told me in great detail how it did last time. a girl's worst nightmare, getting her shoes soaked! eeeeew. thankfully the rain cleared after awhile. and it didnt flood! hardly, anyway. so it was off to my grandma's house for dinner. shes not around anymore of course, but that place is always going to be known as her house i guess. its hard to change what u grew up with.
sunday was good too. i was late for church, again. i need to start getting up earlier. i heard abt e hilarious story abt my family's adventure breakfast when i came back. it was absolutely hilarious, honestly. i dont think it was that fun when it was actually happening but it sounds hilarious when u tell pple abt it. haha or maybe my sister is just a good storyteller coz everything sounds like alot of fun when she says it. ahhahaha. afternoon we went shopping again. not really shopping actually. more like trekking. haha coz we walked for what felt ages. but we had a gelare waffle which was delicious :) but i prefer andersen's rum and rasin! and we watched definitely, maybe at suntec. wow e cinema was a freezer la. honestly. its worse than sitting under e aircon at lt5!!! really. u can feel e extreme drop in temperature once u step in. haha. e show was pretty good tho. honestly, its pretty good. its a diff way of telling e story for once. and all e actresses in e show look damn good. really! go watch if u have time. its worth the money :) just dont watch in suntec unless u wanna freeze. dinner, and then home. ehh no dinner was before the show. anyway den we went home lor. haha as always, how else can a day end?
and i realised that to unemployed people, weekends dont feel no different. just a different group of people we can ask out who'd otherwise be working on weekdays :) but besides that, weekends dont feel different at all. but of course i still rmbr how liberating weekends felt when i was working. nvm, im never gonna go back to that :) no more 9 to 5 jobs for ming! haha. lets save that for e next 60 years or so. lol. but of course, that means i have no income. its quite sad. i feel broke. i think its a psychological thing man. coz spending actually increases since we have so much time. and no income coming in. and somemore theres no income on the horizon coz i dont have a job lined up. hmm. okay next week i'll start looking properly! this week kinda packed alr. next week!
in e meantime, have a good week this week guys! work hard! live well :)
heres my promise made tonight
you can count on me for life
thats when i love you
when nothing you do can change my mind
the more i learn the more i love
the more my heart can't get enough
thats when i love you
when i love you no matter what

today is my fourth day of unemployment :) i realised that actually being unemployed doesnt necessarily equate to having alot of time. but of course, i think i will have enough time to like blog every other day. haha coz i need to come online to check my email! its so troublesome to check my email now :( but i dont miss my cubish com and the dust mites at d & n ;)
ytd was pretty slack. okay i admit ytd was super slack. i didnt do anything at all. i didnt even leave my house la. i stayed home the whole day. i did read abit of the little green book though, to make myself feel better. somehow i dont feel the urge to snack when im at home. maybe coz theres nothing much to snack on. no peach tarts downstairs or spinelli scones opposite to tempt my tastebuds :) if i stay at home every day i think i will lose weight la. but im not staying at home every day. oh well. but i think as long as im not stuck in an office i wont feel the dying urge to snack and snack. yayy. later i shall go to bugis to shop abit. den off to have a haircut with our dearest charm. and den its to CLAS to see if we can work sth out, and den we are gonna find our elusive waitressing job :) sounds like a good day to me alr :):)
and im excited. we have booked an airconditioned hut for mon night! haha the GAC is gonna have a sleepover in an airconditioned hut on sentosa! im looking forward to it :) i think, okay i know, its gonna be fun. the sun, beach, sea, an airconditioned hut and my fellow GAC-ers. what could be better? we might even get to see a sunrise! and have our long overdue bbq! sounds like heaven alr :)
its nice to be unemployed, in a way :)
till my gmail urges take over again, have fun guys! live well :)
stand up, sing along and dance to my present fav song :)
hard to believe that
its not over tonight
just give me one more chance to make it right
i may not make it through the night
i won't go home without you.
