YOG - Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games
1st in the world, and I played a part in the transportation! Who can make up for all the lost hours of sleep just to ensure nothing went wrong?!
Great times and I nearly cried on the last day coz I know I'm gonna miss it so much...
Tokyo trip
not once but twice! Yippppeeee! I spent my time travelling alone most of the times. I absolute love the Japanese culture and people. Everything is so much nicer, fresher and prettier compared to what we have but then again, there were brutual stabbings, elderly being knocked down by cars on the news almost daily.. Makes me think twice about everything is nicer, better over there, hehehe
I was struck in a train platform for nearly two hours, with torrent rains warnings broadcasting on their local radios. Such an experience!
Phuket trip
For once, me and L ventured out of our comfort zone (Bangkok) and explored. It was fun coz we did everything thru scratch. I made Lawrence walked endlessly to search for the cheapest island tour package. We walked to find nice, cosy eateries frequented by the locals instead of what was recommended in guide books. Not only that, it rained most of the time when we were in Phuket and we spent our time hiding underneath giant beach brollies on the beach instead of getting the sun.
Realization
I started to think of the kinda married life I want. Realised that perhaps L might not be the kinda person I wanna spend my time with when I'm older.. He's nice but I feel he just dun understand me well or deep enough...
Slowdancing
He always hold me tight and with my feet on his feet, he would lead me around the room. A sweetest gesture that has touched me in which I always feel he belong with me only...
Chill out nights
The times we spent quietly talking and listening to the pub's background music. At times when I tried to steal a few glances at him, he would always turn towards me and give me a smirk, as to say "Gotcha!".

December 2010
It's December, my favourite month of the year!
All those year end parties, the networking, my friends, the booze and the morning after hang-overs..
I'm exhausted..
Really am...
Didn't really attend a lot of parties, I'm really surprised my friends can come up with any excuse to have a party, geeeze..
Rather, quality time was spent chilling, drinking wine in quiet dainty bars.
I realise I really love wine even though I'm not a conorsoissur, perhaps I should develop my love even more.
I stopped seeing him.
Partically was he was still travelling too much.
Mainly was I'm confused.
We told ourselves, decided that we should enjoy ourselves in December.
We would see each other again once we are ready, or rather, I am ready...
Is there such a thing of being ready?
I mean after all the turmoil that has passed?
Am I always not ready? I do not know...
I think of him sometimes, but not all times.
I worried for him too but I didn't pick up the phone and call..
I let my fears washed me through..
Sometimes a certain song would remind me of him and I shut my mind off
And sometimes I would juz recalled the happy memories we once shared
And after the walk in memory lane, images of me alone and scared would surfaced, haunting me..
Me blaming him that he's never by myside..
Even though I know how much he (claimed) wanted to be...
I skipped his Xmas present coz I do not know what to get him..
I never know what he likes, he never what I like either..
Previously we told each other to get what we wanted thus we definitely won't be making wrong choices..
But since we ain't really calling each other up, I really do not know what he wants..
Oh, and I do not know what I want either..
Want from us, want from him, want from me, want from us....
I don't think I'm ready...
Such a shame...

Running
I ran for so long that I'm really unsure of what I'm running away from
I was merely being a coward, sweeping issues underneath the carpet
I was afraid of rejection thus I chose to be blind
I ran til I'm tired and outta breath now
I really thought of facing the problem, our problem
But I realise I do not really know how to handle it
I wonder how did we ever come to this stage?
What had made us shut ourselves away from each other?
What had turned us into cold strangers now?
Perhaps our journey with each other is coming to an end
Perhaps our love had ceased
Or perhaps we just did not want to face each other anymore

It pains so much to be lost
Lost in your love
Lost in your pain
Lost in you
Lost in me
It hurts so much to let go
Let go of your love
Let go of your pain
Let go of you
Let go of me
If all this a mere fool's game
I want to leave
I want to hide in dark shadows
I want to run away from you
Let's stop the game and move on
Lost in your love
Lost in your pain
Lost in you
Lost in me
It hurts so much to let go
Let go of your love
Let go of your pain
Let go of you
Let go of me
If all this a mere fool's game
I want to leave
I want to hide in dark shadows
I want to run away from you
Let's stop the game and move on

I'm alive
Yes I am...
Alive that is..
But sometimes I like to think I'm a zombie
Trying to grasp this world
I am constrained
I feel dead
I feel for myself and I can't cry
Or can I?
I peep through my looking glass
and realised that it's been broken all along
No such rose colored lens either
I try to walk to the greener side
and realised it's all in my mind
I hope you are here
Where have you been?
I hope you stay with me here
Where would you wanna be?
I hope you'll hold my hand in yours forever
I really hope you will

Tokyo Luv
I juz came back from Tokyo and there's lotsa pictures!
Never in my life had I imagined that I would get to travel to Tokyo and yet it's happened! All thanks to my baby who had to oversee a project site over there. I used his airmiles points for my flight tix and squeezed in with him in his tiny hotel room.*smilez*
Tokyo was pretty fun. Even though I travelled alone most of the time (coz baby was working), there was really no danger. Tokyo was absolutely safe.
I braved the complex train systems of Tokyo, stood at the crowded street junctions of Shibuya, wandered into a ever so common maid cafe in Akihabara, drank in the vibrant air of Shinjuku, relaxed under the shade of greenery in Ueno Park, was at peace in the areas of Asukusa...
However there were a couple of incidents which thinking back made me laugh. I was trapped on the train platform in the town of Sakura when the trains outgoing to Narita was super delayed. As I couldn't really understand the annoucements over the PA system, all I could do was wait. And of all days when I was in Tokyo, that day happened to be the day when there were torrent rains all throughout parts of Tokyo. It was 10.50pm when I reached Sakura. I was cold and scared although there were also other commuters waiting at the platform as well, I was not comforted. Comtemplated to take a cab back to Narita if not for the fact that baby pointed out the fare would easily come up to S$200 - S$300... *Balk*
Kept calling Baby then coz I need someone to talk to me, to console me but he was still working and ain't really convenient to chat with me. *sigh*
Waited for the train til 12.05am and was instantly relieved when I jumped into the warm carriage, away from the chilly wind and drizzling rain...
*phew*
My travel essentials! Junk food, guide book, camera, sunscreen lotion, passport...
