The Office is the New Jungle

Rumors are hateful.

Rumors are everywhere.

I suppose life is simply too mundane for some busybodies out there that they love to create SOMETHING out of NOTHING at all.
It is almost akin to using the analogy of eating plain porridge everyday. I guess most people would prefer to add some spice and flavours into their food, such as how they love to come up with their own side of the story and "garnish" it with extra details.

The office is like a jungle. We spent one-third of our life in this jungle, working our butts off to create a better life for ourselves and our loved ones. Sometimes, we strive for more to achieve personal goals to add...well, the so-called depth and meaning to the otherwise boring jungle life.

How do you feel when you hear of untrue stories behind own back? And what about those rumors that are really malicious and bad.
How do you handle those people that are talking behind you and yet smiling in front of you?
Feelings of unfairness, anger, exasperation are being felt strongly. Do you confront those gossip mongers and clarify those rumors? If you do, does it help?
For all we know, they are already tired of the same old story and your confrontation will just serves as a new exciting story-line. Of course, when that happens, do not expect them to stick to the plain old truth, for it is .... well, PLAIN.

There is this verse in the Bible that says, "When someone strikes you on one cheek, offer them the other".

I wonder how many of us can really follow such teachings.

I just wish to live in my happy bubble and steer away from horrible evil people. Yucks. PUI.

the need to run

its 9am now. I woke up at 730am to prepare myself for the sat morning run.
but i dragged and laze around until now.

actually the weather this morning is perfect for runs. not much sun with a little bit of breeze. running on cloudy days are good. at least, i don't get dark.

BUT, i am so stuck in facebook games! and I am hungry because i woke up too early and went without food for 2 hours.

Ok, excuses excuses...

Maybe, maybe I will run tomorrow instead.

Sneakers Wedges

the Coach ones are cute! and this is my fav pair from Keds!



I am so in love with these.

I don't care if they are last season or what, but I must get it!
Canvas material made comfy. The height made for a better looking silhouette. All complete with a sporty sweet design.
Perfect for minis and denim shorts! I can wear these for shopping, for weekend brunches or just for roaming around town!

Can't wait to lay my hands on one of these!

Evanescence- My Immortal

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

You used to captivate me
By your resonating life
Now I'm bound by the life you've left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

Sleep Deprived

I thought the long weekend is good for me to catch up on sleep. Unfortunately, i ended up sleeping lesser.

Fri: slept at 2am
Sat: slept at 2am
Sun: slept at 4am

I need SLEEP. a sleep-deprived person suffers from headaches, body lethargic, mind malfunctioning, poor appetite, bad skin and many more.

Besides my bad sleeping habits, I have been drinking everyday this weekend. Overdraft on alcohol, deprived of sleep and not enough H2O intake is causing me to feel a lil groggy and a lil grumpy.

ROAAAARRRRRRRRRRR!!

Baby Boomers

From Wikipedia: "Baby Boomer is a term used to describe a person who was born during the demographic Post-World War II baby boom. The term "baby boomer" is sometimes used in a cultural context, and sometimes used to describe someone who was born during the post-WWII baby boom."

I live in a matured estate and hence, there's a good number of elderly residents around me. They are the baby boomers.

During my first year of stay in my new place, I realised that funerals were rather common. The frequency was about once every 2 weeks or so. It then daunt on me that I am staying in a very matured neighbourhood.

Like a coin that has two sides, living around these elderly has its good and of course, bad.

Today while having dinner at the coffeeshop, this elderly uncle (he should be in his 60s) was clearing my plate. He was very friendly and asked me "hao chi ma"? I replied back politely, "hao chi". He then smiled at me. At that moment, I felt really warm and good at his smile. It's a kind of warm and sincere smile that reaches out to your heart.

Then, while in the lift, another auntie in her 50s striked a short conversation with me. When the door opened, she say bye to me. Again, I could feel the same sincerity i felt with the uncle.

As I reached my doorstep, I looked at my neighbour's unit. The auntie and uncle has been helping us to keep our shoes and floor mat everytime there's a block washing.

I think generally; the baby boomers, having lived a life of hardship are more simple and sincere. They are frugal yet rich in hearts. If you look around, the Gen X and Gen Y don't really chat with you in the lift. They do not smile as much and they prefer to live behind closed doors. I am guilty of all of these as well.

Of course, this is just generalisation and personal opinions. :PP

New colours~

oops, my blog has been dull for too long. black backgrounds, long stories, not much pictures, no music or tweets... and a horrible lack of updates..
decided to revamp my pathetic blog... but hey, I am not that creative so please don't expect too much.

I promise I will update more though. I try.

And so, for a new start, I changed the background to a dark grey. My fonts are now light pale pink and my headings in a brighter note of pink. Hey, I love the grey-pink combination!

I hope it's pleasing to your eyes toO!
