One moment in time

 

Each day I live
I want to be
A day to give
The best of me
I’m only one
But not alone
My finest day
Is yet unknown

I broke my heart
For every gain
To taste the sweet
I face the pain
I rise and fall
Yet through it all
This much remains

I want one moment in time
When I’m more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me

Give me one moment in time
When I’m racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity

I’ve lived to be the very best
I want it all
No time for less
I’ve laid the plans
Now lay the chance
Here in my hands

Give me one moment in time
when I’m more than I thought I could be
When all of my dream are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me

Give me one moment in time
When I’m racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity

You’re a winner
For a lifetime
If you seize that one moment in time
Make it shine

Give me one moment in time
When I’m more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me

Give me one moment in time
When I’m racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will be
I will be
I will be free
Oh I will be
I will be free

All's well, ends well

I still live up to my two day record. How do you find someone who gets over a heartbreak in two days?!?

 

A crazily optimistic person perhaps?

 

Well, I guess I’ve got him to Thank for. It’s good to know that at least we’re still friends. It’s what I’d want at the end of the day… 🙂

 

Thank you for the wonderful memories.

Flashing lights and Ghosts

This weekend was a whole weekend of fun, excitement, many firsts, and definitely exhaustion. 🙂

I’m really glad and thankful to make the decision and effort to meet up with my long-time-no-see ex-tutor with her fiancé, and not forgetting… 🙂 My many firsts, happening at St James. The longest time ever since I last made a new friend. St James was a huge place located across VivoCity, near the gantry to Sentosa. It was literally a mini village, that had a mini eatery like Chomp Chomp or Newton Food Centre. – never knew that. The old powerhouse itself looked pretty cool. I believe each block was made up of many different clubs/ pub/ hang out places, whatever they call it. We chilled at a place called Gallery Bar at the second level, overlooking the dance floor.

First times are always awkward. Like what Lucille would often tell her friends whenever I try to encourage them on something, “You never try, you never know.” After a lil introduction to each other, I opened up and got really chatty. 😛 Even knowing the consequence, I requested to drink alcohol. The guys were really sweet and gentleman about it. It was really sweet and funny how they would literally only add drops of the alcohol in my drink. After a cup and a half, I felt my cheeks became hot and I wanted to dance! I was too shy to approach about it. Furthermore, the dance floor was really crowded. I felt safe and comfortable wherever I was. I had all the space I need and loud music blasting downstairs. All we needed was to get into atmosphere…

The next day…

Hives…

I literally spent the next 6-8 hours detox-ing, which helped eased the swelling and itch.

Today was Aunt’s Sabrina’s birthday and Liana’s Hen Night. I’m glad I was able to celebrate with both of them. I haven’t met those girls in the longest time ever since leaving EtonHouse. Miss those pretty girls! Brought orange cheesecake the girls as a lil gift. I’m glad that they all like it. Which reminds me, I owe them the recipe. Gotta go scan it and sent to them next week. Be patient! <;3

The first meet up place was at Pan Pacific to start off the night with some drinks. The place was lovely! I really love the interior design and architecture of that building. It never fails to capture me. On the outside, it looks like Plain Jane. But the inside? WOW. Here are some pictures that I found online..

This is the night view of Pan Pac

This, is what I love. I never fail to be amazed by that triangular shape.

How can you not love this?

Someday, I would like to try staying in this hotel during special events in Singapore. I hear it overlooks into the National Day Parade. 🙂 *Hint.

Here are some pictures I took when my friends Liyin and Hwee Min brought me to celebrate my 19th birthday.

We ate at this yummy Japanese Restaurant that I never got to go again as they were either always closed or renovating.

That’s Hwee Min and I, 4 years ago. WOW.

That’s the three of us…

Dinner is served!

This is what I love

This was 4 years ago. Look at the vast difference!

Look at it now! We sat in this cute little area that was nice and cozy.

I was extremely thrilled and excited to find out that we were heading towards Clarke Quay for Liana to do the dares. My first Hen’s night. It’s such a blessing to have Eka who’s friend is working in a club. We literally had free access to all the club we went to – Le Noir, Zirca, and Attiqca. He was so nice and offered us a whole bottel of Volka. I’m like WOAH THERE. Six five girls to one huge bottle – I’m off limits to the alcohol.. 😦

Liana’s task was pretty simple. All she had to do was sell off roses with a kiss on the cheek from a guy. And boy did we choose some cute guys! Can’t wait till pictures are up! :DDD We met a cute 19 year old celebrating his birthday at Le Noir, and boy do my girls love him to bits! He was just way too cute. The plus factor was that he’s probably Ang-moh. XP Le Noir is a small but yet cozy little place without much space for dance floor that didn’t stop us from dancing. Our next stop? Zirca. Huge place, but I personally felt bored. There’s wasn’t the mood or feel to dance. What got me upset was they did not allow me to bring in my helium balloon. I had no choice but to let it fly away. YOU MEANIE. I didn’t quite like that place. It was too big for comfort. Plus the No Balloons allowed part. 😛 We probably lasted 5 or 10 minutes there and we were out. We hung out at Attiqca last, going into the lounge made us me feel so privilege! The place was also big, with two levels consisting of different music. R&B on the first ground, and Techno on the 2nd, where the lounge was. What’s more was that, only those with tags were allowed to enter the lounge.

VIP

I would have the Zirca tag if not for Attiqca insisting that we remove it. Apparently, they are loggerheads. So cute.

Clubbing isn’t my kind of thing. I enjoy chillaxing in a bar with live band and having the best company of friends or love ones. There were many thoughts running through my mind when those few guys tried getting close. One in particular was dead drunk, and I coldly told him to leave me alone. In my heart, I felt that he was pathetic to be drinking his life away. Why do people drink to clear their problems? Is running away the best solution? How irresponsible. But yet, I could have been a lil bit nicer, trying to understand his reasons and talk to him. But my other side went “C’mon! He’s dead drunk, his breath stinks! In what kind of mind would he digest anything you’ve got to say?” I’m not trying to make any point here. Just verbalizing my thoughts. I don’t mind going clubbing, but I don’t like it when you go there to get drunk and get wasted. I think of other people whom tries hard to live when they can’t cause they are suffering from some terminal disease. I don’t like it when people get drunk and does stupid things like throwing glasses at others on the dance floor. I became in such an overprotective mother when dear Liana got hit by a glass. You’d definitely fish in plenty of hot guys at these places, but you can dream of getting one cause there are tonnes of hot girls around too. They won’t take a second look at you when they’d go for the hot, skinny looking. Clubbing was indeed an eye opening experience and a once in a lifetime must do item. It is definitely not my thing. But yet…

Thank you for letting me enjoy the experience. 🙂

P.S. After two nights of clubbing, even my bathroom lights are in the mood to club too. The lights wouldn’t stop flashing! With Halloween round the corner, it doesn’t help that everywhere you go, you have ghost shows on TV and ghosts on the streets that I imagine seeing ghosts at home! Liana even sold a rose to a Halloween dressed up … Creature?

Life's Privileges :)

It’s been a fast and busy week. I’m dead exhausted from the MCYS Awards. Working with the children from the different homes had showed me how blessed I am. It was tough in the beginning… the children would disobey, argue and even fight. They wouldn’t even listen to anything I say. But with perseverance, they opened their hearts and let me in.. That was an achievement to me. It was like winning the first prize, and it made me feel so much for them and how much I enjoy my job.

30 baskets of roses for the volunteers

Waiting was a killer…

Rehearsal was hard for the children. There was a lot of waiting time and the kids got pretty restless. I felt helpless when I could only entertain only a handful of them… The only entertainment they had was TV and space. Yet they weren’t allowed to run around too much for the fear of messing their hair, and getting too tired. I felt bad that I could only do this much for them.

Don’t my girls look pretty in their fairy costumes?

The interior of the place looked fantastic. It’s a pity that I didn’t get to snap pictures. I’m happy to be able to work with them again this year. It was a wonderful experience that I brought back with me.  I believe that this experience will help to enrich my ECCE learning journey and will provide me with more opportunities knocking at my door.

Working with the children from homes has taught me to be happy and content with what I have. I’m also happy that I am working hard to do what I enjoy doing best and continuously moving forward and upgrading myself. Someday, I do hope to be able to return to the society and help those children who are in need.

Going home from Gardens By The Bay in the late night was difficult.

The taxi stand was bare..

I had to call a cab to get home. 😦 There goes my money… 😥

But I was however pleased with the night view of the tall office buildings at Shenton way and Marina..

I seriously need to get a new phone.

Life's Goodness

It’s been a fast week. Just a moment ago, I was enjoying my September Holidays. In a flash, we’re into the second week of the term. Time flies before you know it. Therefore, treasure each moment you have.

And that was my weekend. I wonder what’s coming this weekend? I’m going to do something as what this picture Sue shared with me.

I’m going to create magic this weekend!

Have a great week ahead! ❤❤❤

My visit to the Hospital

Today is the day where I fasted for 12 hours for an X-ray. Going into the department, I was greeted with friendly and helpful staff be it the cashier, or nurses assisting me to my room. I’m thankful to be able to do the X-ray, even thou i was late for quite some time. I had to change into an 3-arm hole gown as they call it; for the best comfort. The material was comfortable, but the gown kept slipping off my shoulders. You won’t look the least bit glamorous in it either.

20120903-111420.jpg

The unglamorous gown!

Within the X-ray room, there were 3 nurses. One whom was very motherly and helpful during the procedure , calming me down during the jab, and guiding me and supporting me during the various positions I had to lay during the X-ray. The other nurses were young and quiet, waiting for the doctors orders. Both “oncologist?” or what they call doctors who specializes in X-rays were nice and a lil humorous. The Chinese guy was very professional and strict with the checks before taking the X-ray.

I was impressed by how you’d stay on the X-ray machine when it was moving, tilting you from an upright position to a lying down position. It was indeed interesting to watch the various images of your tummy. The gruesome part was that you had to have a jab (something i detest) and to drink a white substance, what they called – Barium meal. It wasn’t the easiest thing to swallow. Yuck. Then, I had to take some sort of powdered stuff to expand the stomach with gas. I kinda liked it. Hehehe. It was like taking popping candy. The ones that pop the moment you place it into your mouths.

I tried to relax by joking with the doctors when they told me to hold my breath while they take the shots. But at some shots, they told me to hold my breath, but yet took forever to take the shot. It was … Hahaha. I had to tell him that I can’t hold my breath for too long. When all was done, they looked through the X-rays.. And then… They called a doctor. Uh-oh. I hope it ain’t bad news. He looked through the shots and they had their private discussion within their computer room and I was told to wait. When all was clear, I was asked to leave.

It was a pretty quickly procedure that took about one hour? Not bad. 🙂 I was advised to drink alot of water to help my loosen my bowels so that I wont constipated from the medication. I did however feel pretty dizzy and sleepy from everything that I’ve went through (not in a dramatic way).

I’m pretty stuffed up from the barium meal, and in need of a seat and some sun. So here I am, in the hospital food court, seated and under the sun!

Let the pictures do the talkin’!

20120903-113350.jpg

I’m glad I have my bottle Ribena as companion. 🙂

20120903-113356.jpg

I ain’t a fan of needles and jabs.. 😥

20120903-113406.jpg

I love my seat under the sun! Thou… I am getting a lil hot and feeling burnt after an hour!

20120903-113416.jpg

Let’s take some self shots! :DDD

20120903-113420.jpg

Let’s take another! 😀

20120903-113450.jpg

Okay… Maybe too much!

20120903-113456.jpg

All right! Last one! Love how the sun rays are like ‘angel from the sky’ effect. Hehehe

I’m now, and have been wondering for the past 60 minutes on what I should have at the food court. Eggs? Something sweet? Something soupy? I cant decide.. I conclude my day feeling sleepy dizzy and definitely full of radiation waves.

Be careful not to come too near me!

Bumble Bee

It’s been such an eventful week at work and at home! I feel like a Bee! I’ve had so many uncompleted blog posts waiting to be published, but yet I just don’t have the time to finish them.

When I do, I’ll spam all of Facebook and Twitter. Hahahaha!

Dear Camera

FinePix Z

Where are you? You have mysteriously disappeared from my backpack since Wednesday, 15 August 2012. My birthday sumore. I last used you after PE lesson, placed you into my backpack before heading over to the K2’s for our meeting… I’ve searched my classroom thoroughly and couldn’t find you. You could be anywhere!

I wished you’d talk or even call out to me. I’m really sad. All the photos I’ve took during these past few days on my birthday dinners. 😦

Please come back soon.

Yours sincerely,

Your Owner, Trixie
