Just finished watching Jackie Chan movie "Who Am I". Everthough I had watched it several times, I would still not miss it cos it's not everyday you see a Chinese/ Asian movies on TV.

I'm a Close Compadre!

You really know how to connect with friends when you're one-on-one. Flitting from place to place isn't your style. Why waste time when you could be spending it with a good pal, or two, or three? Quaint cafés, old-school restaurants, the perfect bar stools at the corner bar — they're all great places for good food, fun, and conversation. Sure, there are times to fight the crowds at a sweltering party. But you'd probably rather spend time talking about the deeper issues in life and developing the kind of connections with friends that last a lifetime. After all, isn't that what friends like you are for?

Should we find you at a large party, we'd bet that you'd be the one chatting to someone on the couch or hitting the dance floor with your good friends. We'd also guess, though, that you'd prefer to be at a smaller gathering with your close crew of friends. Spending quality time with your clan is key for you whether that involves playing board games, talking until dawn, or just hanging out.

So what's YOUR Comfort Zone?

Been listening to 梁静茹 CD which I bought over to UK. Have grew to love this song 'Fly Away'.

这一次 是我自己为自己下的决定
很小心 你说慢慢来别怕来不及
如果我 还有一点点不安或者迟疑
我不会 对你的反应那么好奇
落叶啊 其实也很不愿意
其实也不想回忆 谁没等到错过了流星
我们啊 交集在这意外的假期
一定哪里见过你 一定曾经梦见你
fly away 无穷无尽是你深邃的眼睛
看着你 就可以让我茫茫人海里感到安定
fly away 当我不顾一切无止尽追寻
有一个人 有一颗心 早已经默默之中在那里
这一次 问我自己都说我毫不怀疑
爱上你 终于我发现我还有勇气
唯一我 觉得遗憾的是我不够仔细
不了解 你说那一些话的用意
几乎是所有时间在想你
快乐之后是压抑 有没有过这样的呼吸
幸福啊 只要一个眼神的交集
我们拥抱着刺激 我们渴望着相遇
fly away 无穷无尽是你深邃的眼睛
看着你 就可以让我茫茫人海里感到安定
fly away 当我不顾一切无止尽追寻
有一个人 有一颗心 早已经默默之中在那里
fly away 无穷无尽是你深邃的眼睛
看着你 就可以让我茫茫人海里感到安定
fly away 当我不顾一切无止尽追寻
有一个人 有一颗心 早已经默默之中在那里
fly away 当我不顾一切无止尽追寻
是你的人 是你的心 日日夜夜陪我在这里

I think that everyone has their own comfort zone, it just the difference in tolerance level.

My comfort zone ==== Low tolerance level and not receptive to changes.

I went for a Diversity training today and felt that the people here are better at airing their views and participating at discussions.

Why are we conscious about what we say?? Is it because we think that it can be used against us in future?? Better not to say something than to have said and regret it.

Is it their freedom of speech or are we 'Kiasu, Kiasi, Kia pai seh'??

Sam is working late today....I'm struck at home....Just sent an e-card to Naomi to wish her Happy Birthday and suddenly, I felt that I miss home!! I miss going home for dinner, going out shopping after work, shopping at Chinatown, Orchard Road, going through bargain racks......

I'm home-sick, I'm Singapore-sick.....

Was invited to my colleague's wedding reception which is to be held in May 04. She had a lovely wedding ceremony at Ice Hotel (Sweden) in Jan 04 and this reception was for all friends and families to attend. Knowing that there's no sure thing as 'hong bao' in UK, I asked her for the wedding list. She had arranged it from John Lewis and I can choose to buy online or at the store. The chosen gift will dedeucted from her list and will be send to her by John Lewis.

Personally, I think that the wedding list is great if you are moving into a new home and need these new items, or else, 'hong bao' is still the best. The joy of counting money$$, the world of an auditor!!

I passed my Theory test!!! Scored full mark for the first part of the test (MCQ) and score 44 (minimum to pass) out of 75 for the hazard perception test. Anyway, I'm happy as long as I passed. Going to sign up to learn driving soon.

A question from my Theory Test Book :-

After dealing safely with the hazard sign (as per below), you should
a. check your tyre pressures
b. switch on your hazard warning lights
c. accelerate briskly
d. test your brakes


I only heard of 'Ford' car!! Don't even know what to do when I see the sign let alone AFTER dealing safely with the sign.

A quick check to the dictionary solved my problem and the answer to the above question is (d) . I bet there's no such sign in Singapore.

Eversince I'd been in UK, I have picked up some new 'English' word cos here they like to use cheeminology words. Sometimes, I have to rely on the Thesaurus in Word to find out what that word means or prehaps my English wasn't good enough to begin with!!

Just today I encounter this word on a report that I read, "Anecdotal" Wow!! What's this??

One word which is very commonly used in UK = Dodgy. Why can't they say 'suspicious'??

I'll always remember this one. Last summer, when I was watching the weather forecast on the news and the weathergirl said that the weather for today is going to be muggy. What the hell is muggy?? Can you imagine that in order to know the weather forecast for today, I need to look up the dictionary!!! Why can't they say that it's going to be HUMID!!!

I quite like the show 'American Idol' or was it because Jasmine was in it?? She's great and is only 17!! I hope she wins.

Favorite quotes :

"People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost."

"If you love somebody, let them go. If they return, they were always yours. If they don't, they never were."

"When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us."

"Women always worry about the things that men forget; Men always worry about the things that women remember"

"Remember, people will judge you by your actions, not your intentions. You may have a heart of gold -- but so does a hard-boiled egg."

It's a long weekend cos today is Good Friday and the following Monday is Easter Monday so no work!! What I'm suppose to do?? Guess to study for my Theory test .

Searching the web regarding Ice Hotel in Sweden. One of my colleague had just tie the knot there and the pictures are lovely!!! It's an amazing place where the hotel has been re-built every year since 1989 and it's never more than six months old because in summer it melts and in winter they rebuild it all over again. In the bar, the drinks are served in cups made from ice!! Wonderful, that will keep the drink cold.

Get the hint Sam, I want to go there this winter!!

Had a lovely dinner at Loch Fyne with Sam last night to celebrate my birthday. Also ordered a bottle of white wine but I can't even finish a glass of it without feeling high. Sam did somehow manage to finish the whole bottle. Wow!!

Received my provisional driving licence and I had just gone to BSM to register for my theory test date which is on 17/4 (Sat). Wish me luck.

Happy Birthday to myself!!!

Birthdays got quieter each year for me, perhaps I'm so far away from my friends. Still can remember the present I got from friends and Sam on my birthday TEN years ago. We were 17, having a temp job, waiting for O' level results. Gosh, I miss those days!!

Isn't it amazing that you always wanted to grow up and live your dreams and when you have it all, you realized that it's not what you think it will be.

Read the NewPaper and found that my favourite Singapore actress (or TV presenter) had just got married.

Bless them.
