#23: Meteor Showers

Missed the meteors at 4+am... Leonids. Supposedly, this year's Leonids shower is expected to be quite a grand one. But... I fell asleep somehow, even earlier than my usual bedtime :( I was in lala land before 10pm, all the way to 7+am. It was the blinding sunshine that woke me up, not my alarm clock =.="

Saw the photo of it though... ^^

It's been so long since i have last seen a meteor shower. A real shower... 10 years ago? That was wen i was still living in Bedok. I vaguely remember my friend telling me that she went sentosa with her family, while i was waiting patiently at my door (I live on the 12th floor, with excellent view of the sky...)and it showered - at 12.30am to 1am :)

Did a slight research on meteor rains and realised that Orionid Meteor Rains on my birthday every year! How sweet ^^ I wonder if all my wishes have hitched a ride on these meteors...

This hoo haa on Leonids has also allowed me to chance upon a search on large green fireballs sightings. I've seen a few (about 4 to 5 of them) huge luminous greenish lights zooming out from the sky down while walking towards Punggol MRT Station. It was spectacular, and i thought it might be some kind of UFO thingy. Haha. Just Joking. But it was too huge and bright to miss it. Seems to me like Punggol is another place good for meteor views, but unfortunately, will soon lose this to all these new build to order high floor housing buildings. Grr. I miss the Punggol FIELD that used to be there.

I shall try to catch this year's showers grand finale... Geminids @ 13-14 December :)

#22: New beginning?

So much has happened within just a couple of months. And so much has changed.

Got myself very much into voluntary work - Just so as to give myself a chance to help make a difference to all in need... So much to learn, so much do...

Met lots of new people :) And im still very grateful of those who are in my life right now...

Thanks to those who has celebrated my birthday with me ^^

Right now, i'm watching Buzzer Beat! XD Felt happy~ hees.... ;p

Hope everyone had a great day! ^o^

#21: Cherish

Finally, i've recovered from the coughs and flu. Got myself back to work now, and of course, the energy to resume everything i have paused for that period.

Went to the second gym session after my recovery. Had my dosage of dance class! of coz, as well as kick boxing :) but still, missed dance alot.

Suddenly, i had just this thought. Somehow, due to the busy workload and all, we would have missed out alot of things that are happening around us. Things that happen to people close to us, who we cared alot about. But somehow, we kept waiting. For what? We don't know.

And missed so many letters that i should have wrote... Missed quite alot of things...

So i shall keep reminding myself to cherish the moment... at all time :)

And also, never to give up till the very end.


After yesterday's kick boxing and belly dance and gym, and today's reggae and gym, my body's gonna be really sore~~~ ^^ but i missed that soreness :) And... more practises to come!! Arh~~~~ dance dance~ and... music ^^ and... L.O.V.E ^^

Will write the letter today! ;p

#20: Crossroads

Crossroads. It reminds me of the song "Listen" by Beyonce. The first time i hear this song 2 years back, my tears fell. Right there, on that very moment. I can never forget.

Listen to the song here in my heart
A melody I start but can't complete
Listen to the sound from deep within
It's only beginning to find release

Oh, the time has come for my dreams to be heard
They will not be pushed aside and turned
Into your own all 'cause you won't Listen
Listen, I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home in my own home
And I've tried and tried to say what's on mind
You should have known

Oh, now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what you made of me
I followed the voice you gave to me
But now I've gotta find my own
You should have listened
there is someone here inside
Someone I thought had died so long ago
Oh, I'm screaming out and my dreams'll be heard
They will not be pushed aside on words
Into your own all 'cause you won't
Listen

And now, im at my crossroads. Abeit different from the crossroads mentioned in the lyrics, but yes, a crossroad nonetheless. I've faced crossroads in life, but i was never so hesitant in my choice. Maybe as the age number increases, it becomes increasing more difficult to decide the route. Or maybe it was the battle between passion and reality, especially so when these two can work in well together. So nice it is, for people who can have both fit in well. But for those who can't, it's a difficult situation.

The feeling of working so hard, sacrificing and striving for something that one day i know will be lost. It hurts, alot. Especially so when there are other contributing areas of worry, and living up to expectations.

The choice of road has never been so difficult.

I've almost given up on things i have strived so hard, as well as have sacrificed alot for. But, someone's facebook status made mi rethink about the decision i have almost put down.

"Never give up on anything that crosses your mind every day" (I can't remember the exact words)

These words have greatly impacted me. To the point i felt shamed of what i have thought about...

#19: Thinking front, back and on spot

Loads of thoughts has been going through my mind...

What do i wanna do, what i am doing now, what i can do, what i will do, what should i do...

And the answer is so obvious, it kinda hurts. Flat, straight in the face. It's the invisible strings of emotion that holds on still.

It's like a roaring tiger, all ready to pounce with actions and quick plannings, kept in a zoo instead of being out there in the wild world. The world where the fastest win in a life and death situation, where the most powerful gets to pass down their genes and expand their territory. A world full of risk and danger, yet so intoxicating luring and inviting. It makes the heart pound and blood gush. The eyes fixated and every muscle tensed. Such a feeling, the surge of it cannot be described.

The answer is clear, very clear...

#18: Time

"Rei needs a hold of herself!!"

That's something that has been going on in my mind for quite some time.

Suddenly, just like that, i missed my young self. Happy, optimistic, curious, contented... And now here i am, more of a optimisitc wanna-be depressive pessimist. Haahaaa... (okies, maybe it is not as bad as it sounds la...)

Have been dragging my photos for too long! Shall make sure that i do them and get them posted up today!!

Adult life will be good without it's complexities, yar?

Anyways, has not been having much appetite. But im thinking of having something today... I don't know what it is too, but we shall see. ^^

#17: At the airport...

Yay! I'm at the airport now! Surfing for freee.... ^^

Not much sense of urgency, but quite full of anticipation for what my experiences will be like in HK! ^^ It's my first time there, with my super ma ma dei cantonese... T.T Hopefully i will be able to survive! XD

Meanwhile, planning on taking loads of pics there too. I won't know when i will be there again...

Anyways, enjoy the week people! ^^

#16: Natsu Matsuri 2009

As like every year, I attended the Natsu Matsuri, also called the "Summer Festival" in Singapore, at the Changi Japanese School.

Love the atmosphere, love the fun, love the bon odori. And not to forget, my same yellow yukata...

Supposed to join the Singapore Photographers' Club for a museum shoot!! But unfortunately, it crashed with the Oschool audition... Well... I'll make it up next time~ ^^

#15: Some Ponderings...

Once again, missed my blogging a great time. X.x

Sometimes, i forgot to write.
Sometimes, i don't know what to write.
Sometimes, i don't feel like writing.
Sometimes, i just can't write it out.


From the last time i have wrote till now, loads of things have indeed happened.

I dropped to the lowest of the low... and i realised that once you've hit the rock hard bottom, you have no where to go except upwards.

I tuned in to FM89.7 more often, and enjoyed the "muttons", with all their quirk personalities and lame jokes... and one of the most recent joke was about the movie "Year One". Seems like a perfect comedy that will bring one to tears and laughters all together. XD

The joke works in a way that you have to complete the sentence starting with, " You are so Year One that...."

And somebody sent in this joke, "You are so year one, that you walked into an apple shop to buy food!".

Got the joke?

#14: Living it...

Had a great SingHealth X-country run on saturday, and after that a wonder bbq chalet by clinic 5 peeps~ ^^

It was my first time doing a cross country... Although i didn't do it very well, i kinda motivated me ^^ I shall try again and again and again!!

Stayed over night at the chalet, and the highlights were: BBQ prawns and harrypotter!!! XD Not to mention the nice sleep...

The sleep continued after i have arrived home, all the way to dinner time! Haha, it's been quite some time since i have last had a great sleep... In fact, i wanted to sleep after dinner, but felt that it was a bit waste of time. So i got myself out to the living room and found out that star trek is on show! Not exactly a huge fan of star trek, but i must admit that im awed. nice show.

Currently, im waiting for Harry Potter, the half blood prince to be on movie, and finding a suitable time to watch transformers...

Ever since a few years back, i have been having trouble communicating. Kinda troubled by it. I used to be quite chatty, but in recent years, im feeling more and more quiet. To the extend that i dun really talk sometimes anymore. And still, there are people who said im noisy. Am i? Hais... Is it necessary to talk when one doesn't know what to say or dun feel like talking? Hmm... Something worth a thot.

Okies, off to bed... after a game ^^

#13: Many Happenings...

Seems like i have yet again neglected my blog!! >.<

A few significant events happened yesterday...

Firstly is the dance class!! Really enjoyed it ^^

Next, Oreo has passed away around 11pm, after about 15 mins of me reaching home. Thanks so much for waiting for me to be home before going off the Rainbow Land. It must have been a long and torturous wait... T.T I know you cant bear to leave the rest of your family behind, but you'll get to be reunited with Cookie and Donut... Luv ya always... and always the best piggie in my life. Now, there's no one to teach the other piggies house rules anymore...~ Do enjoy yourself... and miss ya...

#12: Reality

Went for a talk after work today. A talk that actually smacked my weakness in my face straight...

It made me ponder for quite some time... hmmm...

It's time to tke control of your life, and make things work!

Gonna take my advance driving theory tomorrowagain... hope i pass it finally?

#11: Miracles

They day at work started out OK, then it worsened... to the point that i think i had the worst day ever... And then, a miracle happened.

Shant talk too much about work here. ^^

Has been looking for any nice games to play recently... Any recommendations? I like RPGs ^^ or SIMS kinda games...

Seems like it's only when you drop down to the ground do you start to get bounced up again...

#10: A good rest

Hmm, missed out on quite a number of posts!!

Has been a lil more busy than usual...

The NTUC Solidarity Charity Show is over...


The group of dancers ^^ with Gani.

Very fun... and im now looking forward to NDP 2009 ^^

Meanwhile, resting, recharging and get my energy bar optimized...!

Someone gave a cute pink cup cake for the son's full month celebration...


Kawaii~?

#9: Starbucks

Here i am, sitting comfortably in TTSH's Starbucks, waiting for my appointment time to come... Gonna see the doctor @ 4pm. ^^

Ordered the Green Tea Frappe... Kinda too sweet for my taste. Hmms -.- And i never knew they sell nuts over the counter! Bought a pack of it for lunch tomorrow ^^ With salad would be nice XD But dat'll mean that i have to go shop for greens. Not sure if i'll have the time and energy for shopping later though. :/

"Love is like a rose...
Needing the right mixture of nutrients, water, sunshine and love to blossom.
Yet it holds a lifespan,
which, and then, begins to wilt.
But the moment of glory,
in it holds an ancient truth;
it brings hearts close, and set hearts ablaze.
Though a rose can yet cant breathe eternity,
the magic flows,
weaving through centuries..."

#6: Working out...

Had a great kickboxing class yesterday after work! It spurred mi on to strengthen my arm muscles... ^^ After the kick boxing class was the belly dance class~ it has got alot of interesting techniques.

Planned on going marina barrage right after the classes, but somehow, i forgot to bring my camera battery!! Arhh~!! Haha, so in the end has to go home and get it first. hmm.

Watched Angels and Demons with meiling and junqing... It was shown on 1.40am! Got home at around 4am and slept through the day... Missed my pet grooming class, and had to practise for the coming dance performance @ marina barrage...

#5: Arts Festival~

Forgot to blog yesterday... Was too tired :( But yesterday was great~ Went to the staff gym after work with my friend before going for dance practice... Dance made me happy, and i was happily dancing yesterday. Really, laughters in my heart. It's really good to feel this way... But i was told to improve on my arm strengths... Shall start doing push ups from today onwards! How many should i do? hmm... maybe 20 a day ^^ I got to be more confident...

There's quite a few events for today:

Firstly, there is the 3rd anniversary for novena's california fitness! Body combat starts @ 1pm, followed by zambathon dance craze at 2pm, all held at the velocity atrium~ Snapshots with Jacky Chan starts @ 3.45pm ^^

And, if you have not heard about it, it's Singapore Arts Festival now!! I'll be popping by the marina barrage for the festival opening performance, Hélios II by
La Compagnie Malabar (France).



There's a similar repeat performance tomorrow too! Visit the web link to see more~ There's other interesting performances worth taking a look too~

#5: Shagged

Seems like my dark rings is out again! >.< Tried to hide it under my glasses during work though... haha... But i was quite shagged out today. Felt sleepy~~~

Went home right after work for 1/2 home cooked dinner! "1/2" means, part of the dinner is home cooked, and the other part isn't. ^^

And then, i faced reality when i took a yoga class. My balancing and power needs serious leveling up! Shall try those balancing and power acts again some day...

Right now, i shall head off straight to bed........


Oyasumi~!

#4: Dance high
