my mobile going kaputt!

trying to download the pc suite now so i can back up my phone. the contacts especially.

i can't access my contacts now. it blanks out. arghh...

of ALL weeks...WHY THIS WEEK?!?!?!

puh!

looking back in time

it's funny to read stuff i wrote way back.

i had been packing my room and came across all the old notebooks, organisers and diaries. i always write little notes, long essays or just common everyday observations in them. i still do.

anyway, how things change.

i can imagine how happy, sad, angry, nonchalent, excited, bummed out, etc i must have felt then. reading in retrospective is an eye-opener. i wrote things i really felt and these were harsh words any good friend would say to yourself. and yet, sometimes we don't act out what we already know, even when we know or even if friends tell us straight in the face.

i always tell people these were stupid times for me.

but i definitely wasn't stupid. it was one of those things that happen to you, and you learn not to make them again.

again, the mistakes were stupid. i am not.

i'm glad i stayed in touch with friends...people that truly matter to me, and cut out all toxic relationships. if the friendships didn't do squat for me, then they probably aren't worth retaining. if the people didn't do squat for me, then they aren't worth remembering.

i feel a calm wave of relief knowing where i am now. i am alive, happy, independent, and perhaps more important then ever, genuinely satisfied about myself. it's not a matter of settling for less or even settling. just truly satisifed. yes. life should be like this.

am listening to band music from my band days. oh, i do miss playing the trumpet and getting in the groove of it all. there is really nothing like music. every note, instrument, sound...it's amazing where music can bring you, and much more when you immerse yourself in it. i still have all my cds and musical scores and conductor scored. i would love to return to playing the trumpet again some day...regain those 11 years that i have lost in these times.

till the next time i flip my old writings again~~

money well spent

loving the fact that i am mobile-ly connected. Can't get over it. Seems like it's been around forever, and i only just got to it. Well, that means just 1 thing... I get to be my own stalkeratti almost anywhere at almost any time of the day.

Went ikea to get some dining chairs since louis happily destroyed ALL our dining chairs. And since he can't beg for money (yet), i have to be his sugar mama. Got some decent chairs plus some foldable ones. Also got me another pillow. Hopefully, that'll help get the back better. And not forgetting louis, i got him new towels. Time to throw his towels that he has artistically formed holes or ripped apart (or just into pieces).

Oh! And i got a new full length mirror too. For just $29!!

So...i got the big bulky stuff to be delivered to my home on thurs.

For the money that i spent, i got my ikea friends card reactivated. Yes...i spent THAT much! But i used my new Amex...aka more miles! Yippee!

Ok. Need to run to loo!

a day in the life of...

a singing competition judge (and additional musings).

Reach venue. Look for someone to tell me what to do next. Ah! Hair and makeup!

Hair...hot iron...curls...backcomb, teased and sprayed on like how you would spray insecticide to a cockroach. Empathize with cockroach.

Make up. Must remind her not to keep it simple. Luckily i brought my falsies. Big eyes big eyes!

Change clothes. Change to ridiculously high heels. Walk around and be a super kaypoh. Catch up, ask questions, take photos, gossip, eat catered buffet, touch up for ppl, touch up for self.

Time to go in. Watched opening dance at the sides. Run to other side. Get introduced. Take seat.

To cut story short...

Whole bunch of singing and dancing. Pause for 1st round of consolidation of results. 2nd round of singing. Pause for final consolidation of results. Come to consensus on special prizes winners.

Results out. Go up stage to get token of appreciation. Get down. Get up on stage to give away 18 consolation prizes. Get down. Get up on stage for final thanks and photo. Get down.

End of event. Grab stuff and go off. Back and right leg acts up.

Saw cockroach at the void deck. All empathy lost.

Reach home. Greet dog. Remove make up. Bathe and change. Wait for hair to dry. Lie in bed with damp hair. Twitter, fb and blog using phone. Coughs. Backache returns cos of wrong lying posture. Ouch.

mobile blogging

ever since i found out that i could do wonders with my phone i.e. Tweet and fb and emails...i decided to try and see if i can blog too.

Well...it seems i can!

I see...
