No More Drama!

I've had it,man! Depressions,disappointments,mood swings..Geez! I think i must go for anger management classes or seek pyschatric help if i dun get a hold of myself.. What made me like this? Well, try staying at home every weekday alone,doing the same thing every day. Wake up in the morning to look and apply for jobs,wait to be called up for interviews,eat,watch telly,web surfing.... Crappy,no?

My dearie asked me to try to add more variation in my daily life. I try to. Intending to go for jogs(weather's haven't been of any help),reading...
Friends are all bz,either with their new found jobs or with other stuff. =( sigh...

It's tough but i must! I absolutely have to! Get a grip of urself,Michelle! Arghz... Starting frm today,i'll be as optimistic as i can,look ahead and cut down on the incessant whining. This way,it wld be good for myself and for pple ard me who care for me and love me. =)

Since i'm at home most of the time,little activity wld lead to the accumulation of CELLULITE(yucks...!!!). I came across this tip recently. It is better to have a filling & nutritious breakfast and a lighter dinner. As the old saying goes, " Breakfast for a king, lunch for a prince and dinner for a pauper."
That wldn't be enough though.. exercise and moderation is real vital. =)

Btw,Ruud van Nistelrooy is heading to Real Madrid! Bummer! Like my dear Edwin says, who on earth is going to score against the stupid Chelsea? No worries, I'm sure Liverpool,Newcastle and many underdogs can't wait for the season to start and kick Chelsea's ass!

Hope Steve Mcclaren wld make his decision soon. Make a wise choice. Choose Gerrard to be England's captain! Who else deserves it more than him? He is the most consistent player in Liverpool,England and i dare say the WORLD. I'll be awaiting for the good news..hopefully.. *fingers crossed* =)

I was watching the Oprah Winfrey Show this afternoon and i came across something interesting but also heart-wrenching..

Sirenomelia or Mermaid Syndrome is a very rare disorder in which the legs are fused together, giving the appearance of a mermaid. This condition is found in approximately one out of every 100,000 live births (about as rare as conjoined twins) and is usually fatal within a day or two of birth because of complications associated with abnormal kidney and bladder development and function.

Only a handful of cases of patients, who did not have the usual kidney and bladder complications, have survived this condition, two of them being a gal frm USA and Milagros frm Peru. Both were treated with heavy plastic reconstructive surgery

Milagros(Miracle in spanish) was born with her genitals were in her rectum. Doctors could not determine the sex of the baby. Surgeons had to separate her legs and the surgery was being shown all across Peru. Miraculously, the baby gal survived the delicate surgery and according to doctors, she should be able to walk when she grows up.

Went to East Coast Park with my dearie Edwin and his family to cycle on Saturday. It was also his younger bro's 17th bdae . Happy bdae again, Ignatiaus ! Thumbs for for learning how to cycle in less than 2hrs and on ur bdae.. =)

Had heaps of fun with everyone and my arse hurts after 3hrs of cycling! After tt,we took the RIGHT bus but took the wrong direction and ended up taking an hour to reach Bedok Interchange which should have taken less than half an hour otherwise! LOL!

Made our way to Chomp Chomp @ Serangoon Gardens for dinner and it was packed! Had to wait ard for seats and there were 7 of us in all. Lucky us..we managed to get seats faster than we thought. Ordered heaps of food.. 50 sticks of Satay,"tua tao",Hokkien mee,Stingray,Char Kway Teow,"Wu Xiang",Carrot Cake and 7big glasses of sugarcane drinks! Wah..had such a hearty and fab meal..

Spent Sunday chilling out at my dear's place. Watched Hitch ( totally hilarious!),ate great food and slacked.. =) Dear,thanks for every moment tt we spent together. U never cease to make me happy.. *Muacks...* =)

I learnt something new today. So,i thought of sharing it with those of u who read my blog..

FAIRY PENGUINS

The world's smallest penguins living in Syndey Harbour are currently facing endangerment and alot of people( including myself! ) do not even know tt they exist. These penguins are only about 40cm tall in height. These penguins are opportunists at heart,not shy about moving into territories occupied by other. They only come ashore under the cover of darkness and live underground in burrows.

They live year-round in large colonies, with each individual breeding pair forming a burrow in which to raise their chicks (of which two are born at a time). They feed by hunting fish, squid, and other small sea animals, for which they travel and dive quite extensively.

Whilst not endangered as a whole, colonies in areas with significant human activity are under some threat from pollution and feral animals. In Australia , they were once common along the southern coast line but the introduction of domestic cats has dramatically reduced their viable habitat. They are now primarily restricted to cat free islands off the coast.

I'm completely charmed by this little creatures, perhaps coz of the way they walk (waddle,rather! ) =)

Went to meet up with Prabu yesterday supposedly for coffee @ Lot1 but alas! Coffee Bean is no longer there! Blur Prabu... stays at CCK & yet have no idea tt Coffee Bean does not exist anymore. We headed to Macs to chill and catch up instead. =) It was nice to meet up with friends to catch up since everyone is always caught up with the hustle and bustle of the city.

After that, I met up with my dearie for prata @ Casurina! Crispy and scrumptuous prata! Yummy! =)

Filling our stomachs,we took a brisk walk along Old Upper Thomson Road. Many pple wld like to chill out @ coffee clubs,pubs or to bogey the night away in the clubs on a Friday night. For me, I would love nothing but to be able to spend quality time with my dearie.

Walking all the way to Lower Pierce Reservoir, sitting under the starry sky in my Edwin's loving arms brings me so much joy tt i wouldn't trade for anything else. =)

Today's shopping day with my dearest! Went to Cine for lunch. Jap food was good! hee.. Shopped till i dropped. Bought alot of bargain clothes! So happy! Another splendid day with my Edwin. =)

FOOD FOR THOUGHT...

Oil prices are likely to soar due to crisis in the Middle East. But will the rising of the oil prices spin out of control ? $70/barrel is costly enough & it's still about to escalate. Hmmm.... What will the effect be on consumers like us?

Hope the UN or some global organisation would start carrying out some inflationary measures soon....

PRATA DAY today! Going to have prata at Casurina with my dearest Edwin for dinner. 1 cheese, 2 Ko Song & 1 Egg coming right up for my dear bf! 1 Cheese and 1 Ko Song for me.. =)

Can't wait for dinner time to come..to spend quality time with my Edwin..

Just a short posting now. Will post some pics later..

Today's the day! Yep! The opening of the long-awaited movie, Pirates Of The Caribbean : Dead Man's Chest ! =) It broke movie opening's record in the US when it opened. I'm totally EXCITED about it.

Hmmm..yet another boring stay home day. Waiting for calls to be short-listed for interviews. Sigh.... FA and Recruitment Consultant jobs are in abundance. So many jobs require experience. Won't companies have a little empathy for fresh graduates like me? It's demanding and challenging in job search these days.

Well,I must be optimistic! I must! Chin up,tt's what Syah told me. Thanks for the word of encouragement,babe! The real deal takes a while,i reckon. =)

So,it's back to couch slacking and to countdown to the much anticipated movie....

Wednesday, 12th July

Bombs in India during Tuesday evening rush suggests the works of terrorists. 9/11 , 7/7 , 11/7 ... these are obviously signs of terrorism but why do world leaders just always respond with much empathy and no action? Is it not within their power?

I doubt so. Terrorism, border disputes, rising oil prices and North Korea's impudence.. Disturbing world events are occurring on a frequent basis now,it seems. It is time for world leaders to rise to the occasion and deal with such issues. Perhaps these would be on the agenda list in the impending G8 Summit in St. Petersburg from 15 th - 17th July.

Btw, 60,000 pieces of the Berlin Stadium pitch for the World Cup Finals 2006 is up for sale at US$95 per piece! I reckon Italy would have some inquiries and reservations. =)

Well, on the lighter note..most of you would know that I've been searching around for jobs and the progress is slow and little response. Oh well, the start is always tough,no? I've got so much time to myself now tt i dunno what to do with it!

No source of income,slacking on my couch channel browsing away.. that's almost no life eh? But a lot of pple tell me..Enjoy this period now,for when it is over and when you start working, it's freedom no more. Yep,i suppose that makes some sense. =)

I always say this:we learn something new everyday. And of course i learn something new today. About myself. I learnt it from my bf actually.

He said : “You being a Gemini,possesses two different faces, two different characters sometimes, u feel that u are comfortable with one choice... but as time goes along, more often than not, u will question your other choice It's just your the other personality, that tries to come out.
As a result, although u don't realise it yourself, sometimes, u tend to self-contradict. Gemini, aren't always good decision makers. “

When i read what he typed over MSN,i started to ponder.. Am i like tt too?
i guess so much of what he said is the truth. Now with the amt of time i have in hand, i start reflecting on my past and the feel of nostalgia isn't always good.

I get to learn more things, increase my knowledge and fuel tt inquisitive mind of mine. Lol ! I hope to make good use of my time but those lazy bones of mine can be pretty persistent. =)

My 1st posting.. =)

This is my 1st entry in my blog.

Been wanting to write a diary or journal for the longest time..but many of you out there would agree with me. It takes a fair amount of discipline and time to keep up with the writing.

I certainly hope tt i can do tt and share with those of you who read my blog some insight into my life and views. =)
