pre pre x'mas weekend marathon

what a hectic week (and weekend) it was.. am looking to sell my property and purchase another so have been meeting up with agents, getting valuations, going for viewings, etc.. the best thing is, i dun know if i'm ready for that next step yet. i have been seeing this girl, S, for the past yr and a half and she's great - smart, pretty, loving and all.. guess i've grown out of the outlook phase (whereby my partner needs to be a 1.7m C-cupper, preferably with a lean body and a killer tan - OTT, ain't it? might as well date Gisele) and am now just looking for someone to spend the rest of my life with.. the kind u wanna see every night before u sleep, the first thing u gaze on when u open ur eyes in the morning and all other times in between..   thing is, am i ready for this phase now or will i still rather see different people in my bed? tough one, will come back to this later..

held a chalet over the weekend. it was meant to be a one-nighter with colleagues to catch up, drink, bitch and all but from such a simple idea, it grew, and grew, and grew, and literally swallowed me in.

draft 1 - organise a drinking session. find location.
no one's place was big or convenient enough. find alternative. news got around and the initial group of less than 10 swelled to 20-25 pax


draft 2 - organise a drinking session at a venue big enough to accommodate +/- 20 colleagues
chalet sounded great. went online to check, min 2 nights


draft 3 - organise a drinking session at a venue big enough to accommodate +/- 20 colleagues for 2nd night and my friends for 1st night
some colleagues cannot make it on 2nd night, ask to come on 1st. some wanna bring family along, some wanna bring friends along. some wanna BBQ. almost all wanna get knackered one point or another


draft 4 - organise a drinking session for colleagues and our friends on the 1st night and arrange for BBQ for colleagues and our families on the 2nd
great, sorted. chalet confirmed, expenses budgeted. monies collected. food, utensils, mixers, misc for 2nd night ordered online. good to go.. 


*then someone suggested BBQ on 1st night too, cos gotta have some food to go with the copious amount of alcohol that will be consumed


draft 5 - 2nd night sorted. plan for BBQ and obscene amount of drinks for 1st night
which was obviously out of budget cos all monies were allocated for official BBQ on 2nd night. dug into own pocket and became santa claus


but it din stop there. miscellaneous expenses such as cups, ice, bbq pit, paper towels, hand wash, styrofoam boxes, staying up late gambling, whisky parades, grilling food, lack of sleep.. u get my drift right?

but end of it all, just hope that everyone had a great time. cos it'll just make it all worthwhile.

the birth of a diary

wonder if this blog was a spur of the moment thing that will last a couple of posts before fading away, just like most things in my life. i'm kind of a commitment-phobe, not because i'm scared or have any fears - but rather cos i like things in my life to be simple. very, very, very few things in life remain as they are. they change, morph, kazaam *magically turn into something else* but it's all part of evolution - nothing stays the same forever. i'm ok with evolution, it's just that many a times things dun turn out as they seem to be, ie. relationships, that promising new job, the new restaurant that served great food initially but sucked so badly just a few weeks later, those kinda stuff..

so, this blog may start off as a great idea but i may find it a chore in time to come.. who knows? it all started when i was web trawling, one link to the next, click click, and i just happen to read up some random person's blog. some may write abt their interest/s, share their life/ travel/ career experiences, post pictures  of the places they travelled to, chart their pregnancy, share recipes, be a movie critic, fashion writer, online pimps offering massage services (yes, i just saw this last week - for $60, u can opt for yang yang, shuang shuang or other friendly ladies from PRC to render their professional massage service for 90 mins. room + cd not included, kindly arrange with them directly on any other services and rates), entrepreneurial types, property/ car  agents, photo galleries - yadda yadda yadda, and the list goes on..

guess the main reason i started this blog is to chronicle my life, the way i see things. kinda like the diary i never kept, thus the many forgotten or hazy memories of my childhood, teenage years and early 20s. it'll be nice to look back at this in 30-40 years time and see if my world then is still the playground it has been till now..

the world's a playground

'the world's a playground. everyone knows that when you're a kid, but someway along the way, everyone forgets it' ~ ?

i vividly remember this quote from a movie i watched sometime back. always thought it was from 500 Days of Summer but Google searches have referenced this to Yes Man - yes, that show with Jim Carrey in it. Ironically, both shows feature the quirky Zooey Deschanel, who is the lady behind the quote. Seems like i gotta go rent both movies soon to sort out this self inflicted mental confusion.

that's just me - always thinking. 

thinking about life, love, happiness and everything else that matters to me. which is alot, considering that i had it rough growing up - divorced family, abusive sibling, foster home, etc. i dun blame anyone for what has happened, it's just part and parcel of life - mine just happened to be tough but it all seems like it's finally sorting itself out. 

i am glad with what life has given to me thus far, it has been a life less ordinary for sure. i've met people from all walks of life - good, bad, ugly (and the seriously ugly) and am grateful for the different kinds of interactions and experiences that have shaped me to become the person that i am today.

life has also thought me to be patient, and observe. everything happens for a reason. for anything to happen - there is a why, a how, a what and a when. dissect it down to its' bare bits and u will learn to correct the negatives or truly appreciate the positives as they happen. which is rare nowadays, people take some of the good things in life for granted or bitch incessantly when things do not go their way.

this is me so far - i think. i observe. and now i write.
