janice wong - the self-confessed ah lian, lover of all things pink. gorgeous air-stewardess turned journalist.

if her name rings a bell yet, she used to write for the recently defunct Streats... where she was the columnist for In Transit. aptly titled for her open and honest discussions on love, life and men. haha, n needless to say i was one ardent follower of all her articles. :)

but that's beside the point.. the fresh merger of the 2 major media companies (mediaworks/sph + mediacorp) meant bye-bye Streats and everything in it. i figured that's it..

was just flipping thru Life! yesterday, n guess what? janice wong wrote the feature article! which is cool cos it's pretty big stuff if u r a journalist to be writing the main article of the day. buuuudddennn, it was on midlifers going travelling together. such a huge change in journalistic genre, u think?

no more (at least not yet) poignant and emotional writings on matters close to her heart... now it's just covering a story the editor decides on, more on interviewing others n less of her own opinions on issues. it's just a different focus. which got me thinking, how does she feel about this change?

but more importantly, it got me questioning: how do we deal with everyday change?
with great resentment? do we wallow in self-pity? complain endlessly? or do we embrace it bravely? or just grite our teeth, hang on and hope it turns out right in e end?

***
Now situations, girl they often change
Listen to me
Sometimes for the good and sometimes for the bad
But who's to blame?

that's something to think about i guess...

and in case u seriously haf no idea who i'm talking about here, check this link out.. she's pretty cool!

YAY! banner's done.. happy. :)

haha, i'm feeling wayyy better than yest.. so yeaps, thanks for ur concern yea?
hmm, sorry if i've been cancelling for outings n stuff. feeling pretty anti-social at e moment.. but hey, at least i didnt just cancel on u.. i cancelled on everything/everyone..

sigh. dont know abt u, but sometimes i just got to be alone.. esp when everything is happening all at once, i just need a break, all to myself. to recollect my thoughts, to take a breather, to abandon everything n run out to hug a tree (dont gimme tt weird look. how often do u stop to enjoy ur surrondings? take in what nature has to offer?).. but yea, u get my drift..

haha, so yeaps. i'm ok alr.. haha, n hope i didnt scare any of u.. wanted to delete e post but decided agst it cos well, life is a rollercoaster ride of emotions right? so yeah, this is part of being true to myself even tho it doesnt sound too nice...

bleah. n i wanna go slp now but e curtains r gone! renov work at home. n it's pretty irritating.. like of all days, y must be it super sunny today?!

haha, but i guess when life hands u a lemon, make urself lemonade right?
time to get cosy under my blankie! *grin*
cHeeRios! :)

why is it that "great love stories" r those which end as tragedies (think romeo n juliet, titanic, anthony n cleopatra etc),
and those with "happily ever after" r called fairy tales?

i hope you dance - lee ann womack

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty-handed
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance, I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin' might mean takin' chances, but they're worth takin'
Lovin' might be a mistake, but it's worth makin'
Don't let some hell-bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to sellin' out, reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

Dance, I hope you dance
I hope you dance, I hope you dance
I hope you dance, I hope you dance
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along
Tell me who wants to look back on their years
And wonder where those years have gone)

been approximately 365 days since my 1st blog post.
gosh.. how fast yea?
anw, here's wishing u all a blessed new yr!

hmm, haha, alrighty.. so i've not really been blogging much.. *grinz* cant be helped yea.. not been home much.. i'm just super-duperly thankful for e v good break.. :)

but anw, i haf more pressing issues to talk abt in this post.. simply put, my regard for people in general (no offence to u guys.. i'm speaking in general, hear me out kay..) has just fallen to a new low.

case 1: christmas eve down town.. i was carrying my bag in front of me.. (it's a super special, one-day-old bag) n everyone was just spraying foam all over.. got foamed, used both hands to wipe face, resumed clutching my bag in front of me.. aft walking thru e crowd, checked my bag n found a perfectly straight slit at e bottom of my bag! how professionally done.. n how disgusting. i mean, it's a special occasion n everyone's having fun.. y e need to go spoil it like tt just to "earn a quick buck"?! thank God i didnt lose anything. but e bag will now haf a permanent mark even if i get it repaired.. :(

case 2: 3rd jan, proper 1st day of sch for most kids.. 6.20am. been waiting for a cab for super long.. starts to rain.. i'm frustrated cos i've been standing at e same spot for long trying to get a cab n i'm cold n tired n feeling miserable.. 6.30am. a well dressed professional in his mid-20s jumps my queue for a cab.. all this while looking at me. it's a sad enough day alr n this!? i'm not even talking abt long lost male chivalry here. it's abt integrity. but who gives a damn abt tt these days right? so there i stood.. crying in e rain, watching tt idiot steal my cab, frustrated tt i'm running late for smth VERY impt.. miserable in e cold n calling 2 cab companies for 20 mins each n all being engaged.. finally got a cab at 6.50am. brrr.

case 3: saw this in e news.. abt ppl taking away e poor orphans of the tsunami disaster (kids whose parents died in e tsunamis) to bring em to other countries to sell. child-trafficking. my gosh.. wtf?! what's up w e world man. i mean yeah sure.. there r a lot of nice kind n good ppl ard.. but these downright disgusting behaviour more than negates anything good tt can ever come out of us.


dear God, please forgive us and have mercy on us. we really do not know what we r doing..
