Today I passed by Cd-Rama and found out that they were clearing CDs of local artistes at 3 for $10. I know the idea of buying CDs is passé, but I just had to because SHE (Fann Wong) caught my eye. Yes, I know I am a cheapskate but 3 CDs for $10 is quite a bargain considering that it'll would cost almost that much to buy single tracks on itunes or what-have-yous. (ok, I admit I am a cheapskate.)
Listening to her CD brought back memories when I used(note: this obssession is a thing of the past) to be so fannatical about her. Was talking to M the other day and I told her how I used to buy all her (Fann's) CDs, watch all her drama serials, supported her when she broke into the movie industry, bought photographs of her etc etc. Those were the days man. Of course I don't do that now. Hehe. I told M rather animatedly about my love for Fann and she could only say, "you and your Fann Wong".
I am proud to say I still remember the lyrics of her old songs. (BIG DEAL! :P) She has her flaws and isn't a fantastic singer, but she never fails to put a smile on my face. :D

Recently I've found joy in making coffee. Having tasted orange juice with coffee at a certain coffee joint, I decided to try creating the same effect. The outcome turned out surprising good although it still lacks something. I've never thought I will enjoy operating the coffee machine, but seems like I am beginning to enjoy making coffee. Anyone fancy a cuppa?

Yesterday my group members voted unanimously to boycott today's lecture but without first seeking the permission of our group leader. However, the reaction of our group leader was that we should and must do the presentation even if we were going to get only 1 out of 5 marks.
The "bargaining" via sms lasted for less than 5 minutes before she concluded with a "Whatever". The boys in my group then certified that when a gal says "whatever", it means she is really angry. I was tasked to pacify her because we are the only gals in the group but I personally would not want to present too.
But it was really quite funny to see the boys' reaction when I told them she said "whatever". School sucks, especially when you get irritating lecturers lk P.R. A.A is still ok but... nonetheless, I hate all these assignment shit and the freaking exams that is gonna come in 2 weeks? Whatever.

I wrote this quote on the whiteboard that is infront of me at work:
to constantly remind myself that it's really not about me.
"In forgetting yourself, you become what you do, so your action is free, spontaneous, without ambition, inhibition, or FEAR." ` 'Socrates'
to constantly remind myself that it's really not about me.

A big test lies ahead for me tomorrow. A is on annual leave, and I've been converted to senior crew with effect from 1st Oct. With added responsibilities, there is no simply no room for error. Certainly felt the stress when suppliers came in on Monday. A usually does everything - from payment to suppliers to updating the stock inventory so I was very nervous when thrown into the fray.
Then, this customer had to order a bottle of wine on the First monday I start work as a full-timer. I've never opened a wine bottle and the only time I tried was when my chefs needed it to cook the chicken stew. It was really nerve wrecking, but my week has been rather eventful. Good to learn new things although I pray very hard I won't sink this ship!
Tomorrow's gonna be a busy day with my bosses hosting a Sri Lankan Rice & Curry for 10 people. I've also got 2 table reservations and it so happens that I don't have any part-timers coming in. That leaves me with just my manager and I. Stress Stress Stress. I hope everything goes well tomorrow.
On a happier note, I get to see Jasmine tomorrow. YAY!

- Shakespeare's As You Like It
We all hide behind facades and own many masks that we can switch interchangeably under diferent situations. I've always wondered what the kAeJ without the facade/mask will be. I've always wondered how people can keep dark secrets about themselves so brilliantly that even the people closest to them have to pry real hard to find out about the secrets and half the time they don't succeed. I've always wanted to know what lies beneath the hearts of people. How many are totally truthful to the people around them? How do people measure the extend they can trust someone?
The wall of defence I tried very hard to break down is slowly being re-constructed, with the recent spate of events leaving me to question who I can really trust to bare my heart out to. Ironically, the person I least expect to trust is turning out to be someone I feel I can trust totally. Yet, there is still this nagging fear and doubt that I could be wrong...again.
When one day the facade you have been hiding behind is removed, what will it reveal about you? Well, you know they say, "A fair face may hide a foul heart". Could it be you? Or perhaps, me? Your guess is as good as mine.

"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players.
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages."

"The world was peopled with minds, whirling faster than any wind, in search of distraction and escape from the predicament of change, the dilemma of life and death - seeking purpose, security, enjoyment, trying to make sense of the mystery. Everyone everywhere lived a confused, bitter search. Reality never matched their dreams; happiness was just around the corner - a corner they never turned.
And the source of it all was the human mind."
An excerpt from Dan Millman's "Way of The Peaceful Warrior."
