I must have been a coller coaster in my previous life.
Full of Ups and Downs...Turns and Roundabouts.
Things happened so fast that I don't even know what's actually going on.
Maybe I know, but I do not have the solution to it; yet.
And because I do not have that solution yet, things are going round and round in circles.
I can picture myself trapped in this square box. I am walking. I keep on walking..but I am met with a dead end at some point. I seem to be going nowhere.
I am tired. I feel crap from the lack of sleep. My head feels like splitting. The eyes are sore. My energy level is at all time low. I hate such stuff. It REALLY zaps away all the positive energy. and now I have no mood to do anything else...
But I am still thankful that I can find a lil peace at work. Some colleagues are on leave these few days and yeah, personal space is really something I need now.
And of course, most most thankful that I have my favourite people to talk to in times like this.

MOo MOo on the LaWN
Yay!!! I FINALLY found my dream mug!
I wanted to change my office mug eons ago, but just could not find the RIGHT one.
I just feel that its imperative that i get a right coffee mug. Afterall, it's my soulmate to hold for my morning perk-me-ups.
Talk about the art of cupping a warm cup of coffee and sipping it slowly...hahaha!
The mugs I seen the last few rounds were either too big, too small, too loud, too colourful, to kiddish, too plain.
I almost wanted to give up and use one of those plain old mugs ... until I found Moo Moo!
The mug and the lid comes seperate but I find both so cute and apt!
The lid is made of good quality synthetics, GREEN and has a little FAT COW on it! Hence, the name; Moo Moo on e Lawn. Its so apt for my job..although yeah cow is still a cow and not a bull. But, whatever right?!
The mug is white with blue prints. Its the perfect size for coffees. Its handle is strudy and strong. Its texture is smooth and matte.
Best of all, the prints on the mug are quirky with a dash of office humor... I LIKE!!

26th Feb -2010
sometimes i suspect the existence of a blog is for me to rant and complain.
and i am so going to do so now.
not anything BIG or unhappy, but i am just pretty upset! and since I can't use my "creative language" now, blogging it seems like the next better option.
well, the story goes like this:
I had to pick up 2 registered mails today at the post office during lunch time. Because of these 2 fateful mails, it kinda resulted in a chain of not-so-pleasant events. First of all, I had to passed by the shop that screams "SALE"!!. Seems like a happy news EXCEPT that yours truely bought a blouse there recently for $80 bucks and its now under the 30%-off rack. But, its OKAY... sometimes you never know.
Then i thought about my dirty powder puff. Hmmm, its time to change. Walked straight into Watsons and came out with a new case of pressed powder and a new bottle of anti-aging cream-that comes with another bottle of shower cream FREE! In the end, I did not buy the new powder puff....Well, at least the new pressed powder has a pretty casing and it makes my day looking at it.
Remembering my "task", I make my way to the Post Office and was greeted by a long Q... Yucks, I hate Qs.
Finally, its my turn. I collected the mail excitedly and walked back to the office.
I passed by the salon and think to myself, "Hmmmm...its Friday...the day for little treats and maybe I should have a nice hairwash". It could be a good perk-me-up for lazy afternoon.
In the end, it turned out to be a major disappointment! Either the guy is very new or he is not working hard !
The washing was horrible and he didn't scrub hard enough. When it was time to blow dry, the work was so half-f*** ! I wasted 30 mins sitting there and came out looking the same.
ARGH!
That hair-wash just topped the list and made me really upset...
Oh and I forgot to add in what was the big hoo-ha about that registered mail.
Its from some insurance company informing me that they are changing my portfolio to another agent. and Guess what, I do not have any existing plans with them. They forgot to delete my records after that ONCE-OFF travel insurance. -_-!
BUT, its OKAY... that was like..... 2 hrs ago and in betweeb blogging and working, I have already forgot about the whole thing and is now looking forward to 5.06pm!
YAY! its the weekend again!!

Have a lil Faith
I finished reading this book sometime back but have not had the chance to really write about it
My first Mitch Albom was roughly 5-6 years back and it was The 5 people you meet in Heaven.
Subsequently I read his Tuesdays with Morrie.
Although these two books were considered Border's Bestsellers, i did not really enjoy the book then.
6 years later, I happened to pick up his book again. And this time, I am awed by it.
Maybe its me. Afterall, I was just 22-23 years then.
And so, with a new found perspective, a better understanding and a different attitude towards life, HALF (have a little faith) is a page turner for me.
It talks about the lives and faith of 2 different men, yet it is everyone's story.
One particular line I really like from the book...it goes like this, " What profits a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul?"
Something worth thinking about......right? wrong? haha....

Lent
the Period of Lent started 2 days ago, on 17th Feb 2010. It will last for 40 days and end off during the Easter period.
As a catholic-to-be, i decided to practice fasting during this period as well.
the fasting (in the christian faith) need not be meals. it can refer to abstinence from (vices) activities such as smoking, drinking etc etc.
It's a way to remind ourselves that its Lent during this period and that we can overcome our "vices" through prayer and strength.
As such, I have decided to abstain from taking in meat (unless very necessary and shall be on small quantities) and scolding vulgarities during these 40 days.
I am not up to that level to abstain from my viceroys and beers yet. don't worry. :P

and so it shall be....
Linda Bernadette Ong/
My baptism name..finally it's decided and declared.
There were few names I thought about.
Faith,Constance,Hilda,Genevieve...admist a few others..
and finally, I took up Bernadette. In fact, this was the first name I thought of.
This name is taken after Saint Bernadette. Usually, we try to take after the names of the saints so that when praying, we can ask for intercession.
For more info on St Bernadette, here's the link:http://www.biographyonline.net/spiritual/bernadette-soubirious.html.
cause I am lazy to type out.hahaha!.. and Oh! Thanks to my buddies for those great name suggestions! *LindaWati, Linda Constipation, Linda L*****, LLO, OLL, LOL!..."

crashed
Our notebook crashed. it is now in ICU ward and God knows if it can be revived back to life.
Please don't give up on me ... all my beautiful memories captured inside.
my holiday photos, wedding photos and lotsa whatnots.
lesson learnt: sometimes kiasu-ism is a good thing. should have back up those memories. or at least blog about it..
