To dream or not to dream

2012-01-09T16:17:00.002+08:00

0916hrs.. "You only live twice or so it seems, One life for yourself and one for your dreams. You drift through the years and life seems tame, Till one dream appears and love is its name. And love is a stranger who'll beckon you on, Don't think of the danger or the stranger is gone. This dream is for you, so pay the price. Make one dream come true, you only live twice."

The "L" word

1655hrs.. Many times I have met couples who are on their honeymoon holidays, and when you talk to them, you sense their excitement and hopes on the new life that they are going to embark on together. Then there are the old couples who are on their retirement holiday or taking a trip to see their children. There was this semi retired couple I met on my first flight to London. They were going

Lovely Christchurch

2142hrs.. I've been in Singapore for the past week and commuting on the bus to the choo choo shoe every morning. Every morning I'll see these few people, without fail. A mother with her son who I'll always meet at the bus stop. I've seen them since I started taking this bus. They have became my gauge to see if I've missed the bus. They'll stop at Tampines and take another bus somewhere. The

On the chuga chuga

2011-07-03T03:48:00.002+08:00

0347hrs.. It's been one and a half months with the choo choo shoe. I still can't really tell if I like it yet, though being out station is always a new experience. There's always a lot of adapting to be done on every single flight. The work environment and people are all fluid, things done or seemed this way on one day may be entirely different on another. And I'm slowly learning to just take

My name is Eileen, and I am a born hoarder.

2011-05-10T00:48:00.004+08:00

0022hrs.. Now that I am on a break, I have been clearing stuff in the house. I threw away so many pairs of shoes, it seems sinful. But I also found many things that have been with me for the longest time. Cross stitch from 11 years old. I was so slow at it that I passed it to my cousin to complete it for me. My stamp collection! haha in those days, people collected stamps and stickers. An

Almost there now

2011-04-10T14:32:00.004+08:00

1353hrs.. It will sound cliche that I say time really flies. But it is so true. By Wednesday, some of us will be on our first training flights already. Mine will be on Thursday. It really has been quite a journey of tests and madness, and finally this week we will be going on board. It is a very weird feeling, I am excited and nervous, yet it feels totally different from the usual excitement of

Weekend spirit

2011-02-13T02:10:00.003+08:00

0134hrs.. It's been a week of going for training. Yet it feels like I have been doing it for so long. The only thing tiring about it all is the daily commuting to and fro work. I have to wake up so early to get ready and after an hour of traveling I am still not at work. Sleep is really a luxury these days. But at least this is not going to last forever. Today I had to pull myself out of bed to

The vicious cycle of public holidays.

2010-11-06T11:06:00.003+08:00

1057hrs.. The rest day is supposed to rejuvenate and recharge, and yet I come back to work feeling more tired than before. Public holidays are like traps. You look forward to them with excitment and anticipation that you have the day off to do this and that. The day arrives and you wake up late to find that half your day is gone, and before you know it, the day is over. The next day, you are

Halloween

0035hrs.. Color: Navy Heel Height: 11cmSize: 250mm (fits Euro 39-40/ US 8-9)SGD26 I am selling this on theblackshucks for $33. This is absolutely brand new, and I am selling it at such a loss because I have FIVE of the SAME(!!!) pairs! I must have been half asleep when I was placing the orders that I typed 5 instead of 1. My stupidity is incomprehensible to me. If you are looking for a pair

2311hrs.. My Canon camera is officially gone. The service center called and said that the motherboard is not functioning anymore. =( It was my first camera, it is pink, and has cool functions, like colour accent. Vietnam, HCM, 2008 You know like how some cameras, though the pictures are clear, the colours are like bleh and washed out. But the Canon's colours are vibrant. Commencement 2010

Sugar are friends. Friends are sugar?

2010-08-25T02:12:00.003+08:00

0147hrs.. I ate so much candy today it is not funny. I bought a whole big packet of pick and mix candies after lunch today. It is just one of those things you feel you should go crazy on. I would start from one end of the pick and mix section, put every type of candy the shop has into my bag, and slowly make my way to the end. I like the sour skooks or spooks or sooks. The long green flat candy

Last Supper

2010-08-04T22:07:00.001+08:00

2203hrs.. We were short of a few characters, so we used the guy in the poster (Yuki Ota, Japanese fencer) and that white guy who models our clothes.

Fireworks!

2010-07-19T00:38:00.001+08:00

0012hrs.. For once I have to look DOWN to view the fireworks. I finally know where they shoot the fireworks from. It was pretty awesome, the view from 62nd floor of what building I can't remember now. And I want oysters now now now. Those I had yesterday were sooo good. So fresh and sweet. omg. It is no wonder that they say that oysters are aphrodisiacs. They really are orgasmic. haha ok,

At 20, life is like wrestling an octopus.

0052hrs.. Every moment mattered. "They took up too much space. That was the problem with men. It wasn't just the leg sprawl and the clumping down the stairs. It was the constant demand for attention. Sit in a room with another woman and you could think. Men had that little flashing light on top of their heads. Hello. It's me. I'm still here."From a book I read a long time ago, and I can't

Most painful movie yet

2010-07-06T02:45:00.000+08:00

0213hrs.. I caught Twilight in the cinemas for the first time today. I'd watched the previous two online only just last week, and it was pretty interesting. Vampires are intriguing. But anyway, Eclipse was so so bad. Thinking back now, the movie was really like a mixture of bad acting flimsily put together, and the only redeeming factor was Taylor's abs and some hot vampires. Hot vampire ≠

I am not a girl's toy!

2010-06-08T23:18:00.002+08:00

2304hrs..I always liked Pixar movies. Up, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, and Monsters Inc. It's like great animation and they are always funny. And it is awesome that before the actual movie, there will always a short film. Pixar's next movie out this year is Toy Story 3! It's always such a friendship, sadness, happiness, humour all rolled into one. This time they even have NEW characters/toys.

Pac Man 30th Anniversary

2010-05-22T10:46:00.001+08:00

1021hrs.. Super cool Pac Man Google Logo on the goole search site. AND it is playable! On the logo itself! It is all to celebrate Pac Man's 30th Anniversary. Google's logo always changes to commemorate one festivity or another. There's even Mrs Pac Man, can play two- player! You just have to click on "Insert Coin" twice. Why is Google so cool.

0122hrs..I am so bored, I am facebook stalking my brother's girlfriend/ girl- friend. During dinner, I happened to see this weird baby picture on his phone wallpaper, and when I accidentally pressed a button, it went to his sms inbox, and every msg was from the same girl. Anyway, she is boring. Speaking of which, some of my colleagues have been facebook stalking me, all in good fun. These two

1030hrs.. Hi! I am at work! It's still the quiet period of Saturday morning, and as I was reading the headlines, I have came to the conclusion that the Swiss has got some weird thought processes going on there. Headline No. 1: Swiss ask whether animals need lawyersThey are seriously considering if animals can hire lawyers to defend their animal rights. Seriously. Can you imagine court

0039hrs.. On the streets of Harajuku. With Korean signs. I super ♥ bibimbap. FIRST SNOW! On Christmas day! One of the many menus with wacky food names. You can get soup to chase a hangover with a black snail for 7000 won, which is about S$8.40. I really need to stop eating. Winter makes you eat more, like a could eat 4 slices of toast for breakfast and still be hungry. And we eat

2142hrs.. Heels or flats? I beyond hate ballerina flats - I can't even walk in them. Unless they're on a ballet dancer doing ballet, I just don't get it. Sex or sleep? Sex. I'm getting into bed with David Beckham every night, so, you know, there'd be something wrong if I said "sleep." From December's Allure.

World Food Programme: Feed the children

2009-11-16T04:32:00.000+08:00

0348hrs.. I think its all because of soci of food. Last week I read the readings on world hunger, and the main problem is inequality in distribution, be it income, food, opportunity. It is inequality that causes hunger, not overpopulation or famine or natural disasters. And it is everywhere. I can't imagine how bad it must be. I mean like chronic hunger. I miss a meal and I feel like dying, and

Now i feel like learning tap dance. haha just so I can dance to the song also.

Blog Action Day: Climate change

2009-10-15T13:11:00.005+08:00

1238hrs.. It is quite hard for me to blog about this year's topic, when I myself don't really see climate change as that big a problem. It is just part of the progression of nature, like how the dinosaurs became extinct, the temperature on earth change, and living things adapt, if not they die. Besides, Earth has already passed the stage of the Ice Age, and the ice melted because the climate

1726hrs..When I grow up, I want to be a fisherman in a kelong.So I can fish everyday. And sometimes catch a seagull.Somehow it was easy waking up in the morning at the kelong. This was sunrise at 8am. Waking up to catch fishes is a good incentive.As weird as it sounds, it is actually quite therapeutic getting your hands dirty when cutting up squids, hooking squid eyeballs onto the hooks, and

I tried to use my limited knowledge of English to try and read the words on the poster."Michael Jackson"And I actually

It was all in Chinese.What caught my attention was

Then they place the surgical kit on your chest, and another nurse will read out the patient's details (

1133hrs..I love this song. Its Rachael Yamagata's Elephant. haha because its nice and because I like elephants.Watching her video makes me realise how much she has aged. Look at her face! All saggy and haggard. She looks like she aged 10 years since I saw her at the Esplanade last year. That's what smoking does to you.But I still like her songs.Anyway, Obama is such a gentleman! Click and watch

1435hrs..I love ballet.Kit and I went for the Russian Ballet Gala last night. It was fantastic! You just know perfection when you see it. It was probably the best Da:ns Fest performance I've been to so far. It's the kind that make you want to clap really hard for them, cos that's the least you can do to show your appreciation. As in like if the performance is JUST good, then you will just like

All thanks to poverty."Deaths are heavily weighted to the poorest and most isolated in each country, which means that many politicians remain largely ignorant of the scale of the tragedy."
