Rubber band tales
It happened for the second time today at the gym.As usual, I was running late for my RPM class fondly dubbed by me as the "Cycle your blues away (or at least attempt to) class". I searched frantically through my laptop bagpack, my gym back, overturned all the side pockets, hidden pockets at least three times...and I couldn't find a single rubber band or anything remotely string-like to tie my hair!Haih. For a moment I seriously considered if I should snip off the waist-ties of my office dress as a hair-tie substitute.Ah, the woes of having long hair. The solution? I put on the thickest skin I owned and very nicely and humbly asked another girl whose locker was next to mine if she could spare me a simple rubber band to tie my hair so I wouldn't have to be the crazy girl in the bike class with hair plastered to her back in sweat. She looked surprised, and maybe thought my request was a little strange, but she very nicely obliged. In fact, on the two occasions, (yes, I put on a thick skin on two separate occasions) the girls I asked very nicely obliged.Hence I conclude, sometimes it pays to not bother what people think and ask for what you need.Alrighty, that's my annecdote for the day. Time to try to get some sleep.Labels: Me myself and I, Random Stuff
You'll always be my Baby
You are the best thing that I've ever called my own.Despite you being my most expensive investment to date, I believe that every cent I've ever spent on you has been worth it through and through.Although I've hurt you in the past, and in so many different ways too, you've never stopped being there for me- through the brightest of sunny days and the most violent of thunderstorms.We've gone places together- Ipoh, Penang, Cameron Highlands where we've cruised through journeys on smooth-flowing highways and excursions through narrow, winding roads with sharp almost 90 degree bends where we were blind to what was lurking around the corner and we've survived, simply by the inherent trust that we have in each other's abilities.I've learnt to handle you so well, and we fit together seemlessly, as if somewhere in our past life, we were a single entity. You were an extension of me, and I of you.When I'm apart from you, I miss you and long for you to be at my side. I can't imagine how I lived without you in my life before, and I couldn't imagine living a life without you now.You are my independence, my most cherished posession and my pride.Without you, I am crippled and life ceases to have meaning. After 3 years (come May 20, 2009) of being together, I would like to say thank you my Baby, for everything! I love you so much!

Searching her soul tonight
Oasis Concert, Singapore, 5-Apr-2009
From the vantage point, the people milling in the crowd looked like tiny dolls.
And yet, despite knowing that it would only be more painful to, she still furtively scanned the tiny faces in a hopeful and yet futile effort, heartachingly searching for her magical sappy movie moment.
You know, the moment of cheesy unreality when, the eyes of two star-crossed lovers meet across the crowd of millions of people and all time seems to stand still as they sprint towards each other in slow motion?
Tracherous eyes, they follow the whims of the heart of hearts, imprinted forever with fragments of familiar faces, favourite places and empty spaces, that echo, pining for the fullness it once knew. Forever, it's a long time.
Raindrops running down the windowpane, mirror the Tracks of My Tears. Like hundreds of watery tadpoles each with an infinite wriggling tail.
Rainbow in the rain, North-South Highway, 6-Apr-2009
But hope, hope is the ash from which the phoenix rises shimmeringly, in a spectrum of golden splendour.
Everyday now, she walks the familiar places with increasing serenity.

Back in KL
I just came back to KL today after a week's break in Ipoh where I could not blog at all because each time I tried to log on to Blogger, the Internet connection would freeze and die on me. *sad face* Grrr...I had so much I wanted to write about. I'll back-blog soon. :DMeanwhile, I should sleep early tonight, because tomorrow I start my new job! I'm kinda nervous actually. Wish me luck!!!!!!!Labels: Me myself and I, Random Stuff
